Which patient should be treated first the medical asthmatic presenting with apnoea or a trauma severe bleeding on proximal right extremity?
The trauma patient with severe bleeding on the proximal right extremity should be treated first.
This patient is experiencing a life-threatening emergency and immediate intervention is required to stop the bleeding and prevent further blood loss. The medical asthmatic presenting with apnea is also a serious condition, but it is not as immediately life-threatening as the bleeding trauma patient. The asthmatic patient can be stabilized and treated while the trauma patient is being attended to.
In general, patients with life-threatening conditions should be treated first, regardless of their medical history or other factors. This is why trauma patients are often taken to the front of the line in emergency rooms, even if they arrive after other patients.
