Background: Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) is a procedure fraught with potential complications including hypotension which, in turn, can result in cardiovascular collapse. While there are numerous potential causes of hypotension peri-RSI, induction medications represent an important, modifiable variable. Over the last decade, airway experts have advocated for reduced induction agent dosing to lessen the risk of hypotension particularly in at risk patients.
