Nurses are often in the best position to detect any breathing problems in patients. This paper describes the mechanisms of respiration, the reasons why respiratory difficulties can develop and explains how problems can be detected and alleviated. It includes a series of reflective exercises that aim to enhance nurses' understanding of this life-threatening condition.
