This document outlines the approach to adult patients experiencing wheeze and difficulty breathing. It details the pathophysiology of wheezing, explaining how airway narrowing leads to turbulent airflow and the characteristic musical sound. The etiology is categorized by airway location, and the management strategy follows the ABCDE approach, emphasizing rapid triage and intervention. Diagnostic studies like ABGs and chest X-rays are highlighted for assessing severity and guiding treatment, with a focus on etiology-specific interventions and disposition planning.
