geeze Warrior. That is insane and a prime example of what I was saying. Good adviced you offered! I would also like to add that giving an inhaler will also red flag him. While it may bronchodialate, it can also cause an elevated heart rate which can in itself create the demand for more oxygen.
While airway is number and wheezing could justify one, I think less invasive treatments should always be used first. IF THE PATIENT IS NOT IN RESPIRATORY DISTRESS. If you treat the wheezing with an inhaler and send them on their way, you could be missing something and you could mask an underlying problem.
The same goes for medical professionals who listen and ascultate breath sounds and don't hear anything and make the mistake of noting they are "clear" when actually, they aren't because they aren't moving any air. It isn't until you do get them "opened up" where you will hear the wheezing, rales etc.
