If Sylvia's inhaler does not control her attack and her condition worsens,what steps should be taken promptly? |
SYLVIA GAYLOR WORKS AS A LEGAL AIDE ON THE TWELFTH FLOOR OF AN 18-STORY GLASS AND STEEL MONUMENT TO MODERN ARCHITECTURAL IN THE CENTER OF THE CITY . SYLVIA'S EYE CATCHES THE EDGE OF A BEAUTIFUL BLUE AND WHITE SKYSCAPE AS SHE REACHES FOR HER MEDI-HALER. THIS IS THE THIRD ATTACK SINCE SHE RETURNED FROM LUNCH FOUR HOURS AGO- HER ASTHMA IS REALLY BAD TODAY.HER ROOMMATE IS A RESPIRATORY THERAPIST. SHE TELLS HER ASTHMA ATTACKS ARE PROBABLY TRIGGERED BY THE CITY'S HIGH LEVEL OF AIR POLLUTION. THAT CAN'T BE TRUE. THE PROBLEMS STARTS WHEN SHE GETS TO WORK. THE WHEEZING AND COUGHING WERE SO BAD TODAY THAT BY THE TIME SHE GOT UP THE ELEVATOR AND INTO HER CUBICLE SHE COULD HARDLY BREATH. Indoor and outdoor air pollution can both cause and aggravate asthma. I developed asthma after living in a city with heavy air pollution for five years. I was fine before. The building could have an air quality problem. They should call the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) to find out how to have the air quality in the office tested. The lady should go to the ER now. When your rescue inhaler doesn't work, you're screwed. She needs to be assessed by a doctor, be put on a systemic steroid, and probably a continuous nebulizer for a few hours. When inhaler fails to controle asthma attack ,pl. rush to the doctor nearby.(chest specialist) |
