Does anyone have any thoughts on the use of RSI drugs but the placement of a BLS airway like an LMA? I am curious about the thought process behind it, is it just that airway control is needed but ETI is becomming a less frequent intervention? Is it for use in patients who would be difficult to intubate but are still concious?
Finally, do you think this could have some value in the prehospital realm given the controversey with paramedic intubation, or are we better off leaving airway management to BLS interventions sans medications.
I know there are threads on intubation and RSI, but did not see this mentioned.
