This course provides Advanced Life Support (ALS) providers with the knowledge, clinical decision-making skills, and psychomotor competency required to safely and effectively perform Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) in the prehospital environment. The program is designed in accordance with New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) Office of EMS regulations, current ALS protocols, and medical director authorization requirements.

Participants will review airway anatomy and physiology, patient assessment, and the identification of candidates appropriate for RSI under NJ-approved indications. Emphasis is placed on risk-benefit analysis, failed airway management, and patient safety, including the prevention of peri-intubation complications.

The course integrates pharmacology of commonly utilized RSI medications (e.g., sedatives and paralytics), ventilatory management, waveform capnography, and post-intubation sedation and analgesia. Providers will also examine legal, ethical, and documentation considerations specific to RSI within New Jersey’s regulatory framework.
