In this episode of EMSconnect On Shift, Quinn dives deep into one of the most common and critical calls in prehospital care: respiratory emergencies. From asthma and COPD to CHF and pneumonia, Quinn breaks down the “Big 4” respiratory issues every EMS provider encounters and explores how to assess, treat, and manage these patients at the BLS level.
Join us as we review key anatomy and physiology, discuss how to recognize respiratory distress before it becomes failure or arrest, and walk through scenario-based learning that challenges your clinical thinking. Whether it’s setting up oxygen delivery systems, assisting with MDIs, or knowing when to call for ALS, this episode reinforces the importance of calm, calculated care when every breath counts.
💨 Topics include:
- The difference between respiratory distress, failure, and arrest
- BLS interventions and patient positioning
- Effective use of oxygen, CPAP, and bronchodilators
- Managing patient comfort and avoiding exertion
- Scenario breakdowns that sharpen your assessment skills
As always, remember to follow your local and state protocols, and keep expanding your knowledge—because in EMS, the learning never stops.
