Connect airway structures, respiratory mechanics, and gas exchange to field assessment.

Restore patency and deliver effective basic ventilation through positioning, suction, adjuncts, and bag-mask care.

Plan adult supraglottic and tracheal airway placement, confirmation, and rescue within authorized practice.

Choose and reassess oxygen delivery devices; distinguish oxygen delivery from ventilation support.

Interpret waveform capnography in ventilation, perfusion, and airway verification scenarios.

Recognize undifferentiated respiratory distress and failure during the first minutes of care.

Apply adult ventilation physiology to rate, volume, pressure, and reassessment decisions.

Adapt basic airway positioning, adjuncts, suction, and bag-mask ventilation to infants and children.

Select and monitor adults for noninvasive support where locally authorized.

Recognize neck-stoma anatomy and organize safe emergency oxygenation and escalation.

Recognize partial versus severe obstruction and adapt care across age groups.

Recognize evolving airway and respiratory risk after smoke or irritant exposure, including essential toxic-exposure precautions. Detailed toxicology and antidote management have separate courses.
