When following the protocol is fine but judging breathing alone scares me

I can run the protocol perfectly when someone's beside me telling me the next step. But when it's just me and a patient whose breathing is getting worse, and I have to decide what's happening and what to do, my hands go cold. I keep waiting to feel ready to make that call alone, and the moment they can't breathe is exactly when I doubt myself most.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You can follow the protocol, but assessing and treating breathing on your own frightens you.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
