Association Between Fentanyl Use and Post-Intubation Mean Arterial Pressure During Rapid Sequence Intubation: Prospective Observational Study
The use of 50 μg fentanyl for rapid sequence intubation in an ED is associated with higher odds of decreasing mean arterial pressure by at least 10% at 10 minutes from the time of induction. Therefore, it should be carefully dosed, and its use in clinical practice should be justified to avoid unnecessary complications.
