Question, with breathing being shallow and at 10 per minute, would it have been more appropriate to ventilation the patient?

[@IdahoMedicalAcademy]

NREMT standards generally look for patients to receive ventilation if they are breathing less than 8/minute. The most important thing is to look and see if the patient is in respiratory distress/failure due to a ventilation issue. If so, then you will need to ventilate the patient. Based on skin signs and vital signs, this patient is not in respiratory failure so ventilation is not required. Great question!
