Table 2 Suggested intensive care unit respiratory order set
| Suggested ICU respiratory order set |
| Oxygen via nasal cannula or HFNC; titrated to target saturation |
| NIV (CPAP 5-10 cm H2O) if hemodynamically stable and cooperative |
| Early intubation if PaO2/FiO2 < 150 or signs of fatigue |
| Daily chest X-ray and ABG for ventilated patients |
| Avoid high PEEP in preload-dependent patients |
| Escalation checklist |
| SpO2 < 88% despite HFNC/NIV → Prepare for intubation |
| Worsening pulmonary edema → Intensify diuresis and evaluate for MCS |
| Signs of ventilator-induced hypotension → Adjust PEEP and fluids cautiously |
