Respiratory emergencies Prof V. D'ORIO
This course module is part of the emergency management of distress in adults. The current module concerns respiratory distress and has two parts. The first concerns the determination of the immediate state of gravity and general measures of symptomatic supports. The second describes the more specific management measures according to the etiologies, without going back to the clinical aspect of the pathologies concerned developed elsewhere.
