Semi-Fowler Position During RSI

The guideline suggests using the semi-Fowler position for critically ill adults undergoing RSI based on potential benefits such as increased functional residual capacity and improved laryngeal view. Despite a conditional recommendation due to low-quality evidence, the position is feasible, low-cost, and supported by non-critically ill patient studies.
