Abstract:
Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) is a critical airway management technique commonly used in emergency settings to secure the airway while minimizing the risk of aspiration. Despite its widespread use, variations in RSI practices across institutions and providers often lead to inconsistent outcomes and increased complications. This study aims to develop and implement standardized RSI protocols to improve procedural safety and efficiency. The primary objective is to create a standardized RSI protocol that addresses variations in clinical practice, enhances provider adherence, and improves patient safety and outcomes. Secondary objectives include evaluating the protocol’s impact on complication rates, decision-making efficiency, and healthcare provider confidence. A quality improvement approach was adopted for this study. Current RSI practices across multiple healthcare settings were analysed to identify variations and gaps. Evidence-based guidelines and expert consensus were used to develop a standardized RSI protocol. The protocol was implemented in selected institutions, with healthcare providers undergoing training for adherence. Data were collected on patient outcomes, complication rates, and provider feedback pre- and post-implementation. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the protocol's effectiveness. Preliminary findings indicate a significant reduction in RSI-related complications, including hypoxia, aspiration, and delayed intubation. Healthcare providers reported increased confidence and decision-making efficiency. Adherence to the standardized protocol was high, with notable improvements in patient safety metrics. The development and implementation of a standardized RSI protocol can reduce practice variability, improve patient safety, and enhance provider performance. This study provides a framework for integrating evidence-based protocols into routine clinical practice, contributing to better outcomes in emergency airway management.
