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.
Read: Advanced Airway & Respiratory Management →Scenario
House fire victim: hoarseness, singed nasal hairs, soot in nares, stridor at rest.
Sort each intervention into the correct category.
Items
Avoid CPAP with upper airway burns and stridor
Small-tube ETT if significant edema anticipated
Early RSI before airway edema progresses
Mechanical ventilation post-intubation
Suction of soot and secretions
Cricothyrotomy backup if oral airway fails
100% oxygen; consider C-spine if trauma mechanism
BVM with PEEP valve if available pre-intubation
