St. Emlyn´s - August 3, 2014 - By Natalie May

"Breathless patients are a challenge in the ED. Shortness of breath can be a frightening presenting complaint for both patients and doctors. As always, think about the possible life threatening causes and actively rule them out. For breathless patients think especially about:

• Pneumonia
• Asthma/COPD
• Pulmonary Embolism
• Acute left ventricular failure
• Pneumothorax"
