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
Opioid overdose reversed with naloxone but somnolent with obstructive respirations and SpO₂ 88%.
Sort each intervention into the correct category.
Items
Repeat naloxone titrated to respirations not full reversal
EtCO₂ monitoring during assisted ventilation
BVM ventilations until protective reflexes return
Jaw thrust and NPA/OPA adjunct
Endotracheal intubation if cannot maintain airway
Supraglottic airway if BVM difficult
CPAP for obstructive sleep apnea in somnolent overdose
Recovery position if breathing adequate and protected
