Rаul’s cоnditiоn hаs wоrsened аfter his initial stabilization in the emergency department. Nurse Kamala notes that his respiratory effort has increased, and he is exhibiting signs of airway compromise. Raul is now showing labored breathing, stridor, and noticeable facial and neck swelling. His oxygen saturation is consistently dropping despite supplemental oxygen, and he is becoming increasingly anxious. Due to the risk of airway obstruction from facial and neck burns, along with signs of impending respiratory failure, the medical team has made the decision to intubate Raul to secure his airway. Vitals: Heart rate: 112 bpm (tachycardic) Blood pressure: 98/62 mmHg (hypotensive) Respiratory rate: 28 breaths per minute (labored, with the use of accessory muscles) Oxygen saturation: 88% on 100% non-rebreather mask (desaturating despite oxygen support) Temperature: 101.4°F (indicating possible infection or stress response) Assessments: Airway: Stridor and labored breathing noted, with increasing difficulty maintaining oxygen saturation despite high-flow oxygen. Circulation: Tachycardia and hypotension suggest early signs of shock or fluid imbalance. Skin: Partial-thickness and full-thickness burns to the face, neck, and chest; areas of eschar are forming in the facial region, with visible swelling around the neck. Neurological: Increasing agitation and anxiety as a result of impaired oxygenation and impending intubation.
