Which patient should be treated first the medical asthmatic patient presenting with apnoea or a trauma patient with severe bleeding on the proximal right extremity?

It's a matter of priority, what is more important loss of blood or lack of Oxygen. If the trauma patient is conscious put a bandage in their hand and tell them to apply pressure and elevate the limb if there is no sign of a fracture. Then you can concentrate on the medical patient. Put the asthma patient into the semi-seated position get them to take their inhaler and don't forget to call for the EMS.

What is pulse oximetry and why do patients need it?

A pulse oximetry (pulse ox) is a small clothes pin looking piece of equipment, usually placed on the patients finger, used to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood. The pulse ox. is noninvasive, very inexpensive, readilyavailable and it provides instant results. If a pulse ox. reading is low then the caregiver would likely apply oxygen to the patient. If it is a high reading the caregiver would likely remove or decrease the amount of oxygen the patient is on. Because there are factors that can interfere with an accurate reading, there are other ways to test the oxygen levels in the blood.
