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
Anaphylaxis: stridor, lip swelling, SpO₂ 89%, hoarse voice despite IM epinephrine.
Sort each intervention into the correct category.
Items
Nebulized epinephrine if protocol allows
High-flow oxygen
CPAP on stridor patient
Repeat IM epinephrine
Albuterol nebulizer for bronchospasm component
Needle cricothyrotomy if cannot intubate/oxygenate
RSI for progressive laryngeal edema
Position of comfort; minimize agitation
