Background: Cath lab activation based on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) ...
This chapter focuses on the assessment of tachypneic patients, emphasizing the significance of monitoring their breathing patterns. It explores the causes of shallow respirations, particularly highlighting neuromuscular diseases and discussing the relationship between lung compliance and respiratory distress.
Short + shallow: Neuromuscular, bronchospasm, or compliance problem → act fast ⚠️
Normal/large tidal volume: Compensation for metabolic/systemic cause
Use all tools: 👁 Eyes: Chest rise, ✋ Hands: Palpate,👂 Ears: Listen, 🧠 Brain: Synthesize
In this episode, we focus on the bedside evaluation of the tachypneic patient. Tachypnea (increased respiratory rate) can be an early indicator of serious illness, but not every tachypneic patient is on the verge of arrest. The key is honing your bedside assessment to recognize who is at risk for rapid deterioration and why. We break down a practical approach you can use immediately at the bedside.
A careful, simple bedside assessment can rapidly identify which tachypneic patients need immediate intervention—and help you avoid missing those headed toward respiratory collapse. Stay sharp, stay systematic!
