The survival of severely injured individuals depends on rapid and efficient prehospital treatment. In certain cases, conducting anesthesia induction and airway management in the cabin of a rescue helicopter may help reduce prehospital time. However, this procedure should only be carried out by trained teams following a clear standard operating procedure.
The survival of the severely injured is dependent on the rapid and efficient prehospital treatment. Despite all efforts over the last decades and despite an improved network of rescue helicopters, the time delay between the accident event and admission to the trauma room could not be reduced. A certain proportion of the severely injured need induction of anesthesia even before arrival in hospital (typically as rapid sequence induction, RSI). Due to the medical and technical progress in video laryngoscopy as well as in the means of air rescue used in German-speaking countries, under certain conditions the possibility to carry out induction of anesthesia and airway management in the cabin of the rescue helicopter, i.e. during the transportation, seems to be a possible option to reduce the prehospital time. The aspects dealt with in this article are elementary for a safe execution. A procedure that has been tried and trusted for some time is presented as an example; however, the in-cabin RSI should only be carried out by pretrained teams using a clear standard operating procedure.
