Learning Objectives:

1. Develop proficient assessment and decision-making skills when devising treatment plans for respiratory distress cases.
2. Recognize the importance and process of ongoing assessment to gauge treatment responses and changes in conditions for patients presenting respiratory issues and emergencies.

Clinical Practice Gap Statement:

Athletic trainers often find themselves at the crossroads of making crucial clinical decisions, particularly in cases involving respiratory distress. However, a noticeable deficiency exists in their confidence and efficacy to do so. Additionally, the continuous evaluation of patient responses—a vital part of treatment plan adaptation—is often underappreciated. Bridging these gaps is indispensable for enhancing the quality of emergency respiratory care rendered by athletic trainers.
