Respiratory emergencies are a challenge, both to the patient's life and to the nurse who must deal with the emergency. Regardless of the initiating event, the patient must be assessed and treatment instituted rapidly. Clearing of the airway and breathing are the first two considerations for action in the emergency department's protocol, and in many cases it will be the sole responsibility of the nurse to facilitate these essential functions.
呼吸急症对患者的生命以及必须应对该急症的护士来说都是一项挑战。无论引发事件是什么，都必须迅速对患者进行评估并开始治疗。保持气道通畅和呼吸是急诊科治疗方案中首先要考虑的两项措施，在许多情况下，促进这些基本功能将完全由护士负责。
