I was just on a call and had a question about oxygen. The patient had just come back from dinner and was experiencing face tingling/numbness and his arms and legs were shaking. He said he had a lump his throat and had "slight" difficulty breathing. No history of asthma, no food allergies, no meds, no history. No history of anxiety attacks. Lung sounds were clear and patient wasn't short of breath and didn't seem to be in respiratory distress. BP was 128/82, HR 88, Resp 18. SpO2 99%.
Would you have put O2 on this patient?
