The EMS Lighthouse Project

DSI (delayed sequence intubation) has been proposed as an alternative to RSI (rapid sequence intubation) for patients who can't tolerate interventions needed to properly pre oxygenate patients. But does it work? There have been several observational studies (blantant bias acknowledgement: I wrote one of them!) suggesting it is safe and effective but no randomized trials. Well, now we have one. Join Dr. Jarvis as he describes this RCT of DSI vs RSI in adult trauma patients presenting to an Indian ED.
