Nasal tube perhaps?
Certainly not to replace RSI, but an option for those that don't have it.
Yeah perhaps if we had to manage this guys ventilations for an extended transport time, but if we were close to the hospital I would defer if I didn't have RSI. Nasal intubation can cause pretty dramatic spikes in ICP and for the guy with a potential head injury idk if I would venture down that path or not personally. But a great idea and glad people still think of it. Definitely a lost art and a lot of medic schools don't even teach it anymore...
