Agonal breaths indicate a severe airway compromise and require immediate intervention to maintain the airway and prevent respiratory arrest. Eupnea refers to normal breathing, tachycardia indicates an increase in heart rate, and hypotension indicates low blood pressure, which may be important to assess but do not indicate an immediate need for airway intervention.
