Hey everyone. Im rookie in the prehopital care and have some questions for you. I sometimes find it very hard to see the underlying problem for a pat with dyspnea, especially the different between CHF and excaserbation COPD. Do you have any suggestions for how you, clinical, can make the difference between the two diagnoses in prehosp inviroment ? And if you cant make the different, how do you treat the dyspnea?
We carry 02, albulterol, atrovent, lasix, Cpap, nitro, morphin, Solu-corteff.
Sorry for my bad english. Hope you can understand my problem... Best regards.
