Respiratory Emergencies
Respiratory Diseases
Asthma
wheezing, bronchospasm
Anaphylaxis
a flushed skin, hives, edema, hypotension, laryngeal edema w/ dyspnea, wheezing/stridor
Bronchiolitis
shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, fever, dehydration, tachypnea, tachycardia
Congestive heart failure (CHF)
dependent edema, crackles, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
Bronchitis
chronic cough, wheezing, cyanosis, tachypnea
Common cold
cough, runny/stuffy nose, sore throat
Croup
fever, braking cough, stridor, (mostly seen in peds)
Diphtheria
difficulty breathing/swallowing, sore throat, thick (grey) build up in throat/nose, fever
Emphysema
barrel chest, pursed lip breathing, dyspnea (on exertion), cyanosis, wheezing/decreased breath sounds
Epiglottitis
dyspnea, high fever, stridor, drooling, difficulty swallowing, severe sore throat, tripod/sniffing position
Influenza A
cough, fever, sore throat, fatigue
Pertussis (whooping cough)
coughing spells, "whooping" sound, fever
Pneumonia
dyspnea, chills, fever, cough, red/green/rust colored sputum, localized wheezing/crackles
Pneumothorax
sudden chest pain w/ dyspnea, decreased breath sounds (affected sides), subcutaneous emphysema
Pulmonary embolism
sharp chest pain, sudden onset, dyspnea, tachycardia, clear breath sounds initially
Tension pneumothorax
shortness of breath, altered LOC, neck vein distention, tracheal deviation (late sign), hypotension (shock/late sign)
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
cough, fever, wheezing, dehydration
Tuberculosis (TB)
cough, fever, fatigue, productive/bloody sputum
Treatments
Epiglottitis
comfy position, high-flow oxygen, (nothing in mouth)
Croup
oxygen + humidification
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
treat airway/breathing issues, humidified oxygen
Bronchiolitis
oxygen therapy, position of comfort, reassess frequently, provide airway management, positive-pressure ventilation (if respiratory failure)
Pneumonia
airway support, supplemental oxygen, adjuncts, reassessment
Pertussis
have suction ready, oxygen
Tuberculosis (TB)
PPE= N-95 mask, gloves, gown, eye protection
Breath sounds/diseases
Wheezes
asthma, COPD, CHF/pulmonary edema, pneumonia, bronchitis, anaphylaxis
Rhonchi

Breath sounds/signs/symptoms
Wheezes
dyspnea, productive/non productive cough, Dependent edema, pink frothy sputum, Fever, chest pain, hives, facial swelling, stridor
Rhonchi
Productive cough, fever, chest pain, clear or white sputum
Crackles
Pink frothy sputum, Fever, dependent edema, chest pain
Stridor
Fever, barking cough, sore throat, drooling
Decreased absent breath sounds
Non productive cough, Dyspnea, productive cough, fever, chest pain, shock, respiratory distress, decreased oxygen saturation
