Failure to ventilate
Failure to oxygenate
Inability to protect airway
Gag reflex is absent at baseline in ~1/3 of people, so lack of gag reflex is inadequate in determination of ability to protect airway.
If a patient is able to tolerate placement of an oropharyngeal airway, they likely require<unk>  for airway protection
GCS <8 generally an indication for<unk>  in trauma patients
Anticipated clinical course (anticipated deterioration, need for transport, or impending airway compromise)
Combative patient who needs imaging (suspicion of intracranial process, etc)
