For RN, EMTs, and Paramedics... not so much Anesthesiologists, but we can fix that...
This program is intended to provide a quick reference to the drugs and dosages required to perform a Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI). It does NOT take the place of formal classes which teach this skill
- you won't learn RSI from scratch by using this app.
This app is designed to be stepped through rapidly
- patient class (Adult, Pediatric, or Geriatric); patient weight in pounds or kgs, or Broselow tape if pediatric; finally, patient health considerations
- does this patient have an intracranial bleed? Is this patient hypotensive? Should hyperkalemia be suspected?
- finally, here are your drugs and dosages.Any pre-assessment should be performed prior to attempting an intubation (LEMONS, BONES, Mallampati scoring, etc.)
Tap Menu -> Help (post-KitKat, long press Menu to get the menu items) for further information, and remember always to stick to your protocols.This is Betterware; if you can think of any way to make it better, please drop me a suggestion at

Like all the apps they make is a great one
