AbstractThe priming technique is one of the methods used to shorten the time between administering non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents and endotracheal intubation. There are differing opinions concerning the priming technique. Its efficiency depends on which muscle relaxant is used, the priming dose, and the interval between the administration of the prime dose and the intubating dose. The paper presents advantages and disadvantages of the technique and compares its usefulness in rapid sequence induction.
