The traps that quietly cost points
These are the point-loss patterns iHuman never tells you about. We map every one for this case.
⚠
Anthonisen criteria: increased dyspnea + increased sputum volume + increased sputum purulence
⚠
Systemic corticosteroids (prednisone 40mg x 5 days) — shorter courses now preferred
⚠
Antibiotics if 2/3 Anthonisen criteria or requiring mechanical ventilation
⚠
Oxygen target 88-92% — avoid over-oxygenation (hypoxic drive suppression)
⚠
BiPAP for respiratory acidosis (pH < 7.35) — reduces intubation rates
