As reported within the 6th edition Manual of Emergency Airway Management, there are cardiac arrest rates between 1% and 4%, with other complications (mostly hypoxemia and hypotension) as high as 30% in patients with first-pass success [1, pg 29; 4-10]. Why is Physiologic Optimization Important? Up to 44% per other sources [12].

1 However, it is important to understand that death from hemoptysis is almost always due to hypoxia or asphyxiation (blood impedes gas exchange in the lungs, typically because of bleeding from high-pressure bronchial arteries into the lungs) as opposed to hemodynamic instability. These patients are at imminent risk of respiratory failure.

Vittinghoff, E. Metoprolol and atenolol are overwhelmingly beta-1 cardioselective. Beta-1 blockade decreases inotropy and chronotropy and has no vasoconstrictive effects. I suggested esmolol if the heart rate did not improve. This would treat both SVT or sinus tachycardia. Later, he was found to have used cocaine. Marcus, G.
