The expansion Displacement (of ETT) Obstruction (of ETT) Pneumothorax Equipment/ventilator failure Rigidity of chest wall Variants & notes — as the dossier prints them Source-form note: the primary paper merges D+O in one phrase ('displacement or obstruction of the endotracheal tube, pneumothorax, and ventilator or equipment failure') and prints DOPER's R verbatim; the separate D/O listing follows Respiratory Therapy Zone. DOPES (S = Stacked breaths) is a different device and is not merged onto this card. Round-2 adjudication candidate N-11 (Corpus 5); production number M-257 assigned at the Wave 3 build — the dossier's M-sequence ended at M-250.

M-185 · Parkland vs ATLS burn resuscitation
The expansion Book standard — ABA-modified / ATLS: 2 mL × kg × %TBSA, warmed lactated Ringer's Classic Parkland (Baxter): 4 mL × kg × %TBSA — half in the first 8 h from the time of burn, the rest over 16 h Variants & notes — as the dossier prints them The book's standing direction governs this card: the modified (ATLS) 2 mL formula leads; the classic 4 mL figure is the history. The book's addendum (§12.1) reserves 4 mL for high-voltage electrical injuries with myoglobinuria; a modified 3 mL/kg/% form is used in children / some adult protocols. FLAG (adjudication §6): the ATLS manual itself was not opened in the adjudication pass; the 2 mL ruling rests on named secondary sources stating the ATLS 10th-edition figure.
