Debriefing Points:

Is there a need for oxygen in this patient? The complaint is vague – what makes this patient high-priority? (BP, Heart Rate) What kinds of problems might be going on? (Sepsis)

What might be best way to deliver oxygen in this patient? (NC due to vomiting) What is wrong with him? (possible allergy) What makes this high-priority? (BP mostly)

Is there a need for oxygen in this patient? Where is most of this patient’s problem located? (pelvic Fx with hypovolemic shock)

Is there a need for oxygen in this patient? What is wrong with him? (internal bleed causing shock)
