Hepatic vasodilation
Test your knowledge on Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) by learning about the physiologic response to laryngeal manipulation, role of sedatives, and neuromuscular blocking agents. Design an appropriate regimen for RSI and compare the duration of action of commonly used sedatives and blockers.
