Assessment of Ventilation I: Respiratory Rate

1.1K
Assessment of Ventilation
A Ventilation assessment is critical for monitoring a patient's health status. Respiration, one of the most accessible vital signs, provides insights into the function of numerous body systems and can indicate serious health issues, such as brainstem injuries from head trauma.

Acute Respiratory Failure-V01:29

Acute Respiratory Failure-V

132
The treatment for acute respiratory failure varies based on factors like the underlying cause, overall health, and severity. A collaborative healthcare team is essential for early detection, often through arterial blood gas analysis. Identifying the cause is the primary goal, with treatment strategies adjusted for ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch, shunting, or diffusion impairment.
Ensure that patients are monitored continuously for their response to therapy, including changes in...

Area of Science:

  • Emergency medicine
  • Prehospital care
  • Aeromedical services

Background:

  • Rural British Columbia's emergency prehospital care relies on ground services and volunteers.
  • The Air Rescue One (AR1) program offers helicopter emergency winch rescue since 2014.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the activities of the AR1 program.
  • To identify areas for operational improvement.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective data collection from September 2014 to May 2021.
  • Review of callout statistics, rescue reports, and interviews.

Main Results:

  • 152 missions completed, with 105 involving medical rescues (trauma, cardiac).
  • Common rescue activities included snowmobiling, mountain biking, and hiking.
  • Median response time (request to takeoff) was 55 minutes; median on-scene time was 21 minutes.

Conclusions:

  • AR1 delivers advanced medical care to remote areas, reducing patient and responder risk.
  • Recommendations include streamlining callout, standardizing documentation, and exploring portable ultrasound technology.
