Restrictions on RSI protocols could include, but are not limited to:
That it be restricted to experienced Paramedics with a minimum qualification period
That it be restricted to Paramedics that complete a required training programme, including a certain number of successful intubations in an operating theatre in addition to their initial training
That these individuals maintain a certain number of intubations and medication-assisted intubations annually
That there be strict protocols on its’ implementation as per clinical guidelines
That is always a secondary fallback device available when undertaking RSI, such as a supraglottic airway device (LMA, Combitube etc.) in case of failed intubation
