Rapid Sequence Induction in Abdominal Surgery

You know, you're staring down a high aspiration risk airway.

there's a certain muscle memory that just takes over.

You reach for the drugs you know will work fast.

Right, totally.

And for decades, that instinct almost universally meant grabbing susnalcholine.

But what happens when real-world data proves our collective muscle memory has completely shifted? Welcome to our discussion of an article that captures exactly that.

Yeah, it's a fascinating read.

Today, we're unpacking a massive 2026 data set from anesthesiology by Marcus and colleagues.

For you, the practicing anesthesiologist, our mission is to look at over 9,000 rapid sequence induction cases across 13 U.S. hospitals.

We want to see how your colleagues are actually managing these airways today.

The sheer volume of data here from the multicenter perioperative outcomes group is, well, it's what makes us so revealing.

We aren't looking at static textbook guidelines, you know? It's

actual practice.

Exactly.

Real behavior in the operating room.
