Shortness of breath is one of the most common and urgent EMS complaints, with causes ranging from minor to immediately life-threatening. In this episode, we use the B.R.E.A.TH. approach to break down five critical differentials: Bronchoconstriction (COPD/Asthma), Respiratory Infection (Pneumonia), Edema (Congestive Heart Failure), Acidosis (Diabetic Ketoacidosis), and THromboembolism (Pulmonary Embolism/Myocardial Infarction). We’ll discuss key assessment findings and differentiating factors to ensure your patients get the right treatment fast.
