Preoxygenation strategies using available devices in low-resource settings. BMV: bag-mask ventilation; CPAP: continuous positive airway pressure; ETI: endotracheal intubation; FiO₂: fraction of inspired oxygen; HFNC: high-flow nasal cannula; IAH: intra-abdominal hypertension; IBW: ideal body weight; MV: mechanical ventilation; NIV: noninvasive ventilation; NRM: non-rebreather mask; P/F: PaO₂/FiO₂ ratio; PEEP: positive end-expiratory pressure; RR: respiratory rate; S/F: SpO₂/FiO₂ ratio; VCV: volume-controlled ventilation; VT: tidal volume
