The question
A 30-year-old man with perforation peritonitis who ate 2 hours ago needs an emergency laparotomy. The anaesthesia resident outlines her plan for rapid sequence induction: 1. Pre-oxygenate with 100% oxygen through a tight-fitting mask. 2. Titrate the induction agent slowly until the eyelash reflex is lost. 3. Give a small priming dose of vecuronium a few minutes before induction. 4. Use rocuronium 1.2 mg/kg if succinylcholine is contraindicated. Which parts of the plan are correct?
