Asthmatics have problems with oxygenation. They "de-sat" a lot meaning they don't pull in enough air not to go light headed and fall over.
Normal range 95-100
Bad ranges below 80
Jason was just 79.
I leaned him Forward and did chest PT like I did when he was little.
Chest PT- Cup your hand and beat the crap out of his ribs and upper back. It helps loosen mucus in the lungs.
The nurse went to get albuterol and his 1-1 helped me to get him to sit up straight. He is back up to 96.
As Sgt Murtaugh would say:
"I'm too old for this shit."
