Pregnant patients exhibit various unique characteristics that first responders must account for during treatment. A significant challenge responders encounter when treating pregnant women is navigating difficult airway anatomy and possible risks during airway management. The rate of failed intubation in pregnant patients is four to eight times higher than in nonpregnant patients, and this is largely due to anatomical changes , hormone production, and aspiration risks that occur during pregnancy.

About one in eight non-traumatic emergency visits were due to respiratory distress. Among patients with respiratory health issues or emergent trauma, the figure may have been even higher. Assessing respiratory status is a core component of emergency and trauma care, as well as medical intake. Even when respiratory distress is not the presenting issue, it may be a complicating factor.
