1. Recognize inadequate airway patency and ventilation using patient presentation, respiratory effort, chest rise, breath sounds, oxygenation, and overall clinical response.
2. Demonstrate appropriate airway-opening techniques, including the head-tilt–chin-lift and jaw-thrust maneuvers, based on the presence or absence of suspected spinal injury.
3. Select and correctly use basic airway adjuncts, including oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways, according to patient condition, gag reflex, and contraindications.
4. Perform effective one- and two-person bag-valve-mask ventilation using proper positioning, mask seal, ventilation rate, and sufficient volume to produce visible chest rise.
5. Identify and correct common causes of ineffective ventilation, including poor airway positioning, inadequate mask seal, obstruction, secretions, improper adjunct placement, and excessive ventilation.
6. Describe the indications, sizing, preparation, placement, and confirmation of an i-gel supraglottic airway within the provider’s local scope of practice and protocol.
7. Reassess airway interventions continuously by evaluating chest rise, breath sounds, oxygen saturation, capnography when available, device position, and patient improvement.
