This chapter on respiratory medicine contains 12 clinical Short Answer Questions (SAQs) with explanations and sources for further reading. Possible disorders and their accompanying symptoms of respiratory origin that may present in the emergency department include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, and massive haemoptysis. It will be up to the emergency doctor to assess, diagnose, and decide upon a treatment path for each patient. The cases described in this chapter are all situations any emergency doctor is likely to encounter at some point in his or her career. The material in this chapter will greatly aid revision for the Final FRCEM examination. |
