This question depends on the person. Usually by around 200 to 210, your heart begins to go into an abnormal rhythm or disrythmia, called VT or PVT. The respectively, stand for Ventricular Tachycardia and Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia (PVT is the more dangerous variety). At around this stage a patient runs the risk of cardiac arrest, which is dangerous because while the heart continues to beat, the contractions are so fast, blood isn't being let into the chambers of the heart. Without blood actually being pumped, the person is unable to perfuse, and goes into shock, seizure, coma, and then death.

slega [8]

When you are able to reach a patient by rolling down a window or opening a door, it is known as easy access.

Patient care is offered by emergency medical services (EMS) in a range of situations, from orderly to chaotic. Getting to patients to administer care and removing patients from the site for transfer are both regular issues faced by EMS providers. Starting at dispatch, scene safety is ensured. "EMTs are equipped with the fundamental information and abilities needed to stabilize and transfer patients safely in a variety of situations, from routine medical transports and non-emergencies to life-threatening ones and from easy access to complex situations. Under the direction of doctors, emergency medical technicians work as a part of an extensive EMS response system."

Which statement made by the patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD indicates a need for further teaching regard
algol13

Answer:

"If my breathing gets worse, I should keep taking extra puffs of the inhaler until i can breathe more easily"

For the patient to make this statement, it shows that he or she have no knowledge of the use of ipratropium inhaler. This inhaler is expected to be used twice daily or in worse cases 3 to 4 times a day. Hence, the patient taking extra puffs of the inhaler instead of carrying out several available steps capable of allowing patient breathe more easily simply shows a lack of knowledge.
