Primary SurveyFrom the data collected by the healthcare professionals from Hannah, it was identified that shehas been suffered from mild asthma three years ago and she used salbutamol inhaler in order toreduce its effects. After she fell short of breath and started wheezing, it was identified that RapidRespiratory rate (RR) was 26 and heart rate (HR) was 125. The arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2)was 91 per cent on R/A. Her blood pressure was 130/70 mm Hg.
