National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care, 5 th Ed. ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ BRADY Case Presentation You respond to evaluate a patient with “breathing problems.” Upon arrival, you find a 62-year-old male complaining of severe shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain. Additional questioning reveals the man is from out of state and took the gondola to the top to see the view before the gondola stopped running. He hiked around the summit with his wife for about 30 minutes before he began to have breathing problems. The patient admits to a long history of cigarette smoking and appears to be in considerable distress.

National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care, 5 th Ed. ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ BRADY Case Update You notify dispatch to have ALS awaiting the patient’s arrival at the gondola base and then place the patient on a non-rebreather mask at 15 LPM of supplemental oxygen. He is diaphoretic, somewhat pale, and is sitting upright in a tripod position. Audible wheezing is noted during his single-word responses to questions. His heart rate is 118, respiratory rate is 42 and shallow, and he has a blood pressure of 168/104. She removes the patient’s inhaler from her purse and hands it to you.

National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care, 5 th Ed. ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ BRADY Inhalers

National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care, 5 th Ed. ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ BRADY Case Disposition You believe the patient is in an acute respiratory distress due to an asthma attack. You quickly obtain a SAMPLE history and perform a secondary assessment. You assist the patient in self- administering his albuterol inhaler. During the trip down, you continue administering supplemental high- flow oxygen with a non-rebreather mask and monitor the patient’s vital signs and breath sounds. By the time you reach the base, the patient appears to be breathing much easier. You give a quick hand-off report to ALS providers.

National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care, 5 th Ed. ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ BRADY continued Chapter Summary Respiratory emergencies are among the most common emergencies that the OEC technician will face. Respiratory emergencies are among the most urgent cries for help that you will receive as an OEC technician.

National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care, 5 th Ed. ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ BRADY continued Chapter Summary The ability to identify quickly the signs and symptoms of acute respiratory distress and provide life-saving interventions can truly save a person’s life. OEC technicians must provide an airway and administer oxygen when needed.

National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care, 5 th Ed. ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ BRADY continued Chapter Summary Although respiratory emergencies can be very frightening for both the patient and rescuer alike, with early recognition and rapid intervention, OEC technicians can dramatically reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this common emergency.

National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care, 5 th Ed. ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ BRADY Chapter Summary Accessory muscle use is a sign of acute respiratory failure. Start oxygen therapy high and titrate low. Check your local, state, or provincial protocols to determine if you may assist a patient in the self- administration of a metered dose inhaler. continued

National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care, 5 th Ed. ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ BRADY Chapter Summary In a patient with significant respiratory distress, use high flow oxygen with a non-rebreather mask The most common obstruction of the airway is the tongue

National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care, 5 th Ed. ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ BRADY Chapter Summary Establish protocols following local, state, or provincial laws in order to provide patients oxygen, with your local medical advisor's assistance.
