Rapid Sequence Intubation is one of most commonly applied procedures for trauma patient in emergency practice such as Medical Rescue Service as Emergency Hospital Ward, but in the case of patients with maxillofacial trauma it is usually complicated. Firstly the trauma directly involves the airway, but also the commonly associated injuries and conditions, such as craniocelebrar injuries often limit the options in management. The aim of this article is to describe rapid sequence intubation protocol for this group of critical injured patients. (JNNN 2016;5(1):28–30)
