Consent was obtained from [name/relationship] prior to the procedure. Indications, risks, and benefits were explained to [name/relationship]. [Consent was not obtained due to emergent nature of the procedure.]
A timeout procedure was performed and back-up airway adjuncts were situated at the bedside (video laryngoscopy, bougie, supraglottic airways, and a surgical scalpel for cricothyrotomy). A decision was made to perform rapid sequence intubation (RSI).
The patient was preoxygenated using a [BVM connected to oxygen/non-rebreather mask]. The patient was pre-treated with [medication]. The patient was induced with [##] mg of [medication]. The patient was subsequently paralyzed with [##] mg of [medication]. The patient was intubated using [direct/video] laryngoscopy and a size [##] cuffed endotracheal tube with stylet. The patient was intubated on the [first/second/etc.] attempt.
Appropriate endotracheal tube position was confirmed by direct visualization of vocal cord passage, condensation in the tube, [capnography/colometric CO2 indicator], and symmetric breath sounds without epigastric sounds. The tube was secured at [##] cm at the [lips/teeth].
A post-intubation chest x-ray was obtained, and tube was [noted to be in the appropriate position/withdrawn ## cm to appropriate position].
