Editing Rapid sequence induction (section)

== Uses ==
This procedure is used where general anesthesia must be induced before the patient has had time to [[fasting|fast]] long enough to empty the stomach; where the patient has a condition that makes aspiration more likely during induction of anesthesia, regardless of how long they have fasted (such as [[gastroesophageal reflux disease]] or advanced [[pregnancy]]); or where the patient has become unable to protect their own airway even before anesthesia (such as after a [[traumatic brain injury]]).<ref name=":0">{{cite book | vauthors = Schrader M, Urits I | chapter = Tracheal Rapid Sequence Intubation |date=2022 | chapter-url= http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK560592/ |title =StatPearls |place=Treasure Island (FL) |publisher=StatPearls Publishing |pmid=32809427 |access-date=2022-10-31 }}</ref>
