AB  - CASE  STUDYA  70-kg,  45-year-old  single,  unrestrained  male  driver,  is  involved  in  a  motor  vehicle  crash.  He  is  rushed  to  a  nearby  level  1  trauma  center  where  he  is  found  to  have  multiple  facial  fractures,  a  severe,  unstable  cervical  spine  injury,  and  significant  left  eye  trauma.  Further  examination  of  his  left  eye  reveals  rupture  of  his  globe.  The  ophthalmologist  requests  emergency  surgery  to  repair  and  save  his  eye.  Because  the  patient  has  suffered  a  recent  trauma,  you  decide  to  perform  a  rapid  sequence  intubation  in  preparation  for  the  surgical  procedure.  What  muscle  relaxant  would  you  use  to  facilitate  tracheal  intubation?  What  is  the  proper  dose  for  your  chosen  muscle  relaxant?  After  intravenous  infusion  of  your  chosen  muscle  relaxant,  you  are  unable  to  adequately  visualize  the  patient’s  larynx  and  vocal  cords  and  cannot  successfully  pass  an  endotracheal  tube.  You  switch  to  mask  ventilation  but  are  barely  able  to  mask  ventilate  the  patient,  and  you  become  worried  that  you  will  soon  lose  the  ability  to  ventilate  at  all.  Is  there  a  medication  that  you  can  give  to  facilitate  rapid  return  of  spontaneous  ventilation  in  this  situation?
