Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Randomized, double-blind study on sedatives and hemodynamics during rapid-sequence intubation in the emergency department: The SHRED Study.
To compare thiopental, fentanyl, and midazolam for rapid-sequence induction and intubation (RSI). ⋯ Fentanyl provided the most neutral hemodynamic profile during RSI, although factors other than choice of sedative can play a more significant role in determining hemodynamic response. Depth of sedation may influence the speed of RSI.
