The choice of sedation for emergency intubation remains controversial. This lack of consensus has led to various sedation protocols used in French prehospital care setting. A review of data from the literature suggests that the association etomidate-suxamethonium is probable the best choice for rapid sequence intubations in the prehospital setting. Its benefits include protection against myocardial and cerebral ischaemia, decreased risk of pulmonary aspiration, and a stable haemodynamic profile. Randomized studies are needed to substantiate the advantages of the association etomidate-suxamethonium for rapid sequences intubation in the prehospital setting.

D009467	Neuromuscular Depolarizing Agents	Drugs that interrupt transmission at the skeletal neuromuscular junction by causing sustained depolarization of the motor end plate. These agents are primarily used as adjuvants in surgical anesthesia to cause skeletal muscle relaxation.

D013390	Succinylcholine	A quaternary skeletal muscle relaxant usually used in the form of its bromide, chloride, or iodide. It is a depolarizing relaxant, acting in about 30 seconds and with a duration of effect averaging three to five minutes. Succinylcholine is used in surgical, anesthetic, and other procedures in which a brief period of muscle relaxation is called for.
