You're dispatched for difficulty breathing, and arrive to find a 22 year old female CAOx4, lethargic and slow to respond. She is slumped over in her seat saying she can't breath, with 2-3 word dyspnea and apparent distress. Your patient appears to fall asleep several times in her seat and is easily awoken with verbal stimuli. She states she feels like her shirt is constricting on her chest and has a tightness in her chest.
Vitals: BP 128/90, Sinus tach at 140 on the monitor, Respirations are at 30 and shallow, SPO2 92%. Lungs are clear, pupils are PERRL, skin is warm, dry, and normal in color.
Let me know what else you want.
This can be a really easy one, but it opened up my eyes to look at calls a little differently and I thought it was worth posting.
