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
BVM if apneic after sedation for intubation
High-flow oxygen via non-rebreather
RSI if CPAP fails and patient obtunded
Endotracheal tube with lung-protective tidal volumes
CPAP or PEEP device per protocol
Position upright/semi-Fowler if tolerated
Nitroglycerin per protocol (not airway but concurrent)
