How this exercise works
Sort airway tools and ventilation strategies into the correct management categories, basic adjuncts, advanced airways, BVM, CPAP, and rescue techniques.
Fundamental concept
Categorizing basic adjuncts, supraglottic devices, intubation, BVM, CPAP, and rescue techniques for failing ventilation.

CHF patient: SpO₂ 86%, RR 32, crackles bilaterally, BP 158/92, speaking word clusters.
Sort each intervention into the correct category.
Items
Capnography monitoring during NIV
Position upright/semi-Fowler if tolerated

RSI if CPAP fails and patient obtunded
Nitroglycerin per protocol (not airway but concurrent)
BVM if apneic after sedation for intubation
High-flow oxygen via non-rebreather
