If the 30 events were met I would've had pt on CPAP right away. If rsp evnts contined with everything then switch to BiPAP. IF BiPAP still is doing no good initiation of 1-2 L O2 up to labs limit per protocal. Then call your medical director for further orders of adding more O2 or other instructions. That's what I would've done.
