I was attending some CE training and a flight RT mentioned how most (he said up to 70%) of asthma attacks that EMS gets dispatched to can be treated without any more medical interventions. He said it was because these patients having are having an anxiety attack secondary to the asthma and that their inhalers are doing the job.
I'd say there is definitely some truth behind this. But are there any actual studies to confirm this number? I've done some research, I couldn't really find anything on it. It would be interesting to see what the number actually is.
