Some patients don’t crash all at once, they decline while providers stay comfortable.

In this episode, we feature Status Paramedicus, and the dangerous space where protocol adherence turns into hesitation, and comfort replaces clinical aggression. When respiratory patients are circling the drain, the difference between doing something and doing the right thing matters.

We dig into the decision points that often get delayed or avoided:
• Nebulized medications vs. IM interventions
• CPAP vs. BiPAP — and when each truly matters
• Understanding and applying PEEP beyond the basics
• Recognizing the subtle signs of a respiratory patient slipping into failure

This conversation challenges the mindset of “following the flow” and pushes providers to recognize when escalation is necessary, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Because sometimes the biggest threat to a patient isn’t lack of knowledge… it’s hesitation.
