Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if it is feaseble to conduct a superiority trial comparing two methods for endotracheal intubation in critically ill patients. It will also learn about validity of outcomes regarding endotracheal intubation. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does performing intubation via Delayed Sequence Induction lower the incidence of severe hemodynamic complications compared to Rapid Sequence Induction?
* How are hemodynamic complications in the severely ill to be measured in order to minimize bias?

Participants will:

* receive emergency endotracheal intubation via Delayed or Rapid Sequence induction
* receive a phone call 90 days after endotracheal intubation
* outcome parameters outside of follow up phone calls will be routinely collected during the regular ICU-stay, there won't be any additional testing

Modified Rapid Sequence Induction

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Modified Rapid Sequence Induction - Preoxygenation FiO2 100% with Bag-Valve-Mask-Device or NIV for at least 3 Minutes. - After completion of Preoxygeniation: application of Midazolam, Ketamin and Rocuronium. - The dosing of medication is determined in advance by the operating physician. - Ventilation via Bag-Valve-Mask-device or NIV after application of rocuronium is allowed. - After application of medication: Intubation via standard of care.

Delayed Sequence Induction

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Delayed Sequence Induction

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Delayed Sequence Induction - fractional dosing of Ketamin and Midazolam until a dissociative status is achieved. Dosing should follow the clinical effect. - start of preoxygenation with Bag-Valve-Mask Device or NIV when dissociative status is achieved for at least 3 minutes. - after completion of preoxygenation: neuromuscular blockade with Rocuronium - after application of Rocuronium: Intubation via standard of care. - should apnoea occur during preoxygenation, the continuation of ventilation via Bag-Valve-Mask or NIV is recommended, but not mandatory.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Adult patients 18 years or older in need of emergency endotracheal intubation in the following 60 minutes.
* The planned operateur routinely performs endotracheal intubation in critically ill patients.

Exclusion Criteria

* Endotracheal Intubation performed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation or during "unstable ROSC", defined as Norepinephrine or Epinephrine dose \> 0,5 µg/kgKG/min after return of spontaneous circulation.
* Participation in the study is not warranted because of increased risk for the patient or otherwise not justifiable (e.g. active oral bleeding).
* Known allergy against Ketamine, Esketamine, Midazolam or Rocuronium.
* Known contraindication against Ketamine, Esketamine Midazolam or Rocuronium.
* Known or anticipated difficult airway with indication for awake fiberoptic intubation.
* Women with known pregnancy or breastfeeding.
