Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Following consent and in a blinded fashion, the nurse \& emergency physician will be asked to evaluate the patient's work of breathing into three subjective categories: mild, moderate, or severe. The two evaluators will not be aware of the others evaluation of the patient. Evaluators will also be asked to predict the patients likely need for intervention \& disposition.
Subsequently, investigators will perform a chart review to determine the patient's clinical interventions, outcomes, and dispositions, and evaluate the assessment of the patients work of breathing.
