Just like the ARC training video, when suddenly someone behind you starts making gasping noises.
Pt is in tripod stance, moving some air but not enough, unable to speak, and with each attempted inhalation there is a sound of a constricted airway.:wacko:
NO medic alert wristband, not answering or responding to questions (a little preoccupied) , no facial swelling.
Before the pt falls out, you pull out your stethoscope (or put an ear to their chest or even mouth or both) and you hear one of two things:
1. Expiratory wheeze, or
2. Inhalatory wheeze.
OK, especially new guys, what is the significance of a fresh respiratorially challenged field pt with one, then the other? How would they affect treatment?:huh:
