If I was the patient I would love to hear that my oxygen levels were normal and that I am not at any risk of dying any time soon. I would say treating the patient should include first measuring how urgent it is.
Additionally if you panic you can easily imagine having trouble breathing, or that your trouble breathing is worse than it actually is. I have experienced this first hand when just relaxing removed most of my problems.
- FireBeyond 14y agoThere's a very interesting book I read called "The Worst Is Over", which discusses this very thing, and talk in detail about how to talk calmly, soothingly and reassuringly to your patient, and the benefits thereof, from the more obvious (anxiety) to the less (pain relief and the perception thereof).
