About this study

Official title: Rapid Sequence Induction in Czech Republic: Survey

Rapid sequence induction (RSI) is a common part of routine anesthesiology practice.However several steps of RSI are not based on evidence based data (EBM) and are considered controversial. In an electronic evaluation form that will be send to Czech society of anesthesiology, resuscitation and intensive care (ČSARIM) members, the investigators bring 4 clinical scenarios in which RSI should be used. In the questionnaire the participants have to choose RSI or no and they have to describe all the next steps on anesthesia induction process in each single clinical scenario.

Rapid sequence induction (RSI) is a common part of routine anesthesiology practice.However several steps of RSI are not based on evidence based data (EBM) and are considered controversial. In an electronic evaluation form that will be send to Czech society of anesthesiology, resuscitation and intensive care (ČSARIM) members, the investigators bring 4 clinical scenarios in which RSI should be used. In the questionnaire the participants have to choose RSI or no and they have to describe all the next steps on anesthesia induction process in each single clinical scenario.

  • 1st. scenario - adult patient with acute abdomen in the OR to be anesthetized
  • 2nd. scenario - 4 years old child with acute abdomen in the OR scheduled for an acute surgery
  • 3rd. scenario - pregnant women scheduled for an elective caesarean section in the OR
  • 4th. scenario - geriatric patient with hiatal hernia scheduled for an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

In each scenario the several steps of the RSI sequence has to be answered:

Is RSI indicated? Y N

Peripheral vein line before induction? Y N

Nasogastric tube before/after induction or without?

Patients position: neutral, head-up, head-down?

Preoxygenation - 3/5minutes, breaths, (CPAP)/Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)?

Sellick manoeuver? Y N

Drugs for induction (order with the number in the row) - propofol, etomidate, ketamine, thiopental, midazolam, suxamethonium, rocuronium, cisatracurium, atracurium, vecuronium

Manual hand-bag ventilation after induction: with limited pressure/contraindicated

Airway: tracheal tube with the cuff/without cuff/laryngeal mask

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rapid Sequence Induction, run by Brno University Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

RSI practice in Czech Republic - questionnaire (time frame: one month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
