Dyspnea Management in Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department at Cantonal Hospital Baselland—A Retrospective Observational Study and Medical Audit

Our findings reveal that the medStandards algorithm was only partially followed at the ED in KSBL Liestal, highlighting gaps in detailed history taking, respiratory rate measurement, lung percussion, and emergency ultrasound use. Given the frequency of dyspnea-related presentations, systematic improvements in the adherence to assessment protocols are urgently needed to enhance patient outcomes.
