1. The document provides an algorithm for the treatment of respiratory failure that includes rapid assessment of oxygenation, ventilation, and consciousness followed by supplemental oxygen administration through various devices.
2. Intubation and bag mask ventilation with 100% oxygen is indicated for patients not responding to supplemental oxygen.
3. Specific treatments are then recommended based on the suspected cause of respiratory failure such as naloxone for opioid overdose, antibiotics for suspected infection, or corticosteroids for subglottic edema.
