SITUATION: Baby Gem, 3 months old, is brought to the health center for consultation because of fever and cough. You suspect that Baby Gem has a respiratory infection. QUESTION: It is important to assess Baby Gem breathing. You would know that she has fast breathing if her RR is: 40 breaths/min 60 breaths/min 65 breaths/min 50 breaths/min -What would be the answer and give Rationale

what is the triage category (red, yellow, green, black) for a 42 year old unresponsive patient, patient gurgles but can't maintain and open airway, and only gasps for respiration, and absent radial pulse?
The initial survey reveals a patent airway with no evidence of current obstruction. Breathing is tachypneic and regular, with accessory muscle use indicating increased effort. Circulation characterized by tachycardia and mild hypotension. There are 1+ distal pulses bilaterally, and the skin is warm and dry. At the ER, an ECG reveals sinus tachycardia of 129, which resolves without any prior medical management. Sinus at 98 beats per minute. The patient is on non- rebreather mask and the vital parameters are: Temperature- 37.7 degree centigrade Heart rate - 128 beats/ minute Respiratory rate - 25 breaths/ minute Blood pressure - 100/60 mmHg And saturation - 92% Using the ABC, identify the life threatening injuries of the patient. Why? A-AIRWAY B-BREATHING C-CIRCULATION
Approach to a patient with Difficulty in breathing: A 25-year-old man is brought to the emergency department following a stab wound to the right back. He is complaining of difficulty breathing and severe pain on his right side. His vital signs on arriving are a blood pressure of 140/88 mm Hg, heart rate of 100bpm, respiratory rate of 25/minute with oxygen saturation of 90% by pulse oximetry. While undergoing a chest radiograph, he becomes agitated and develops severe respiratory distress. Vital signs are now blood pressure 80/60 mm Hg, heart rate 125bpm, respiratory rate 40/minute and oxygen saturator of 75% by pulse oximetry. Chest examinant reveals an absence of breath sounds and hyperresonance over the right lung field. Neck examination reveals distended neck veins and tracheal deviation to the left side.

Using the following lung volumes, calculate this persons FEV1 / FVC ratio. What this person's pulmonary function be clinically classified: normal, obstructive, or restricted? TLC = 5.2 L FVC = 3.8 TV = 0.5 L ERV = 1.1 L IRV = 2.2 L This person forcefully expired 2.4 L in one second. according to reference material, normal VC for this person is 3.6 L.
