In this episode of The Ten Minute Medic, we dive into the essential aspects of asthma for paramedic students. Like the song Hotel California, air checks into the alveoli, but doesn't (tend) to leave without help.
Join us as we explore the pathophysiology behind this common respiratory condition, understanding the inflammation and bronchoconstriction that can lead to life-threatening situations. Learn how to assess a patient experiencing an asthma attack, including key signs and symptoms to watch for. We'll also discuss emergency treatment options, from administering bronchodilators like albuterol to the importance of oxygen therapy.
Whether you're a seasoned paramedic or a newcomer to the field, this episode equips you with the knowledge and skills to manage asthma emergencies effectively in just ten minutes.
