Patients presenting with acute CPE often will do well starting CPAP near 10 and adjusting based on comfort, pulse oximetry, and vitals. Elevation of the head of the bed to 30 degrees is recommended when possible. [ahcmedia.com]

A pulse may be present initially, but be prepared to begin chest compressions should the patient deteriorate into cardiac arrest. Open the patient’s airway and provide positive pressure ventilation with a bag-mask. [acls.com]
