respiratory rate dictated as 28/40. That can't be right, can it? - daisy


Posted: Jan 18, 2012

Patient is a disheveled middle-aged male, alert and oriented x3. Moderately ill in appearance.  He dehydrated.  Blood pressure 129/63.  Pulse, 92. Respiratory rate of 28/40

Nope - JL

If you are citing this verbatim and have given all the information (anything following 40?)something isn't right. I would flag that or do whatever protocol you're instructed to if something doesn't make sense.

After 40, he moves on to HEENT. - daisy

yes, that's exactly as he said it and he clearly says 28 over 40. I guess I'll just have to flag!
