Question

A 42-year-old male comes into the emergency department after being struck as a pedestrian by a truck at 30 mph. When he arrived at the hospital, his Glasgow Coma Scale was 6, and he had significant facial trauma. Additionally, he had a positive FAST exam, and emergent surgery was indicated. Before being transferred to the operating room, the emergency department physician attempted rapid sequence intubation with rocuronium as the paralytic agent. Unfortunately, due to the extensive facial trauma, intubation was unsuccessful. What pharmacological agent should be used in this scenario due to the difficulties in intubation?
