RSI originated in the anesthesia literature to prevent aspiration in unprepped patients undergoing general anesthesia. From the first anecdotal reports of p-RSI in 1972, prehospital intubation has matured into widespread use. The often conflicting outcome data underscored the need to standardize the approach to p-RSI.
1 Each RSI might require different courses of action to treat and prevent. 2  The first medical practitioner to talk about RSIs did so in 1700. 3  Modern technological devices have caused an upswing in RSIs.  Repetitive motions in one anatomical region can affect musculature in a separate area of the body.
