| Abstract
|
:
|
Access to free airways is the first consideration in emergency situations, such as at the scene of an accident, and respiratory emergencies represent an important part of acute medicine in general. Respiratory problems also play a crucial part in critical care medicine and constitute an important share of the numerous problems in an intensive care unit. As breathing difficulties are experienced with anguish, these symptoms can generally be very frightening, particularly to those suffering from them. It seems reasonable to assume that respiratory emergencies are mostly handled by physicians specialists.
