Chapter 1 in full: Initiation and Modification of Interventions

- NIV is first-line for alert patients with hypercapnic COPD exacerbation and pH below 7.35.
- Raise IPAP to lower PaCO2; raise EPAP to improve oxygenation.
- Target SpO2 88-92% in chronic hypercapnia and 94-98% for most others.
The rest of chapter 1, on this page
- Adult CPR: 100-120 compressions/min, 5-6 cm deep; with an advanced airway, 1 breath every 6 seconds.
- Newborn: PPV for apnea or HR below 100/min; compressions at 3:1 if HR stays below 60/min.
- A competent adult may refuse treatment; respect, document and inform the team.
Common mistakes in this chapter
- Higher FiO2 does little for a large shunt; recruit with PEEP.
- Never use a LABA alone in asthma.
- Passing an SBT does not prove the patient can protect the airway.
