A member asked:
3yr old discharged from er with pulse ox at 92 and rr at 42 at discharge. given albuterol inhaler. went in with resp. distress. are those #'s normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: These numbers are acceptable, although 42 is a bit fast, as long as the work of breathing looks normal, this would not be respiratory distress, that would be measured differently. I think as long as the child had a good doctor to follow up, this could be ok to discharge home
