All I Need is the Air that I Breathe: The Trouble with Trouble Breathing

Unless you live under that pre-verbial EMS rock, you have probably have had more than one response for breathing problems.  These calls come in all shapes and sizes...mild, moderate and life-threatening severe.  If you have been in the business for any length of time, you've probably experienced multiples of each.  In this edition of The QMC Board & Collar we look at the need for clear and concise documentation of these patients given how different each can be while having the same chief complaint. Without documenting these cases well, one could have trouble with trouble breathing calls.         Written by:  C. Humphrey Presented by:  G. Harvat
