Effect of Ketamine and Etomidate During RSI on Long Term Outcomes

The RSI-LTO study collects long-term outcomes from the RSI trial (NCT05277896). In the RSI trial, patients in the ketamine group will be assigned to receive intravenous ketamine for induction of anesthesia during tracheal intubation. A dose of 2 mg/kg will be recommended, and the group assignment sheet will contain a nomogram providing the recommended dose for a range of patient weights (in pounds and kg). Treating clinicians will be able elect to give a lesser or greater dose of ketamine than recommended if felt to be required for optimal patient care.

The RSI-LTO study collects long-term outcomes from the RSI trial (NCT05277896). In the RSI trial, patients in the etomidate group will be assigned to receive intravenous etomidate for induction of anesthesia during tracheal intubation. A dose of 0.3 mg/kg will be recommended, and the group assignment sheet will contain a nomogram providing the recommended dose for a range of patient weights (in pounds and kg). Treating clinicians will be able elect to give a lesser or greater dose of etomidate than recommended if felt to be required for optimal patient care.
