Abstract
Objectives: To identify up-to-date information that contributes to increasing the progress of rapid sequence intubation (RSI) in pediatric emergencies. Methods: This is an integrative literature review that used the keywords “Rapid Sequence Induction and Intubation”, “Intubation, Intratracheal” and “Pediatric Emergency Medicine” in the Scielo, PubMed and Virtual Health Library databases, using, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the content analysis for discussion. Results: We found 9 articles that were later discussed. Conclusions: Many health professionals do not correctly indicate medications during and after RSI in pediatric emergencies, and educational interventions aimed at correcting this failure are beneficial. An accurate epidemiological profile of RSI in pediatric emergencies cannot yet be established. The best way to collect data in studies involving RSI is through video recording. Interventions aimed at reducing the time spent during orotracheal tube insertion may more effectively reduce the total apnea time during RSI. The use of apneic oxygenation and fractional expired oxygen (FeO2) analysis may have some benefits in RSI.
