This article will deal with bystander, out-of-hospital management, and definitive emergency care of conditions related to breathing and lung function. It will include or link to some of the underlying anatomy and physiology, and discuss medical best practices for assessment and treatment. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C.

I thought proper style was to make titles singular. So shouldn't this be at [[Respiratory emergency]]? Or is it always seen in the plural? [[User:J. Noel Chiappa|J. Noel Chiappa]] 00:05, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
:To me, the singular doesn't make sense without totally restructuring the title. While I'm not wedded to the title, it gets long. For example, one textbook that I use for a reference has two relevant chapters, "Compromised Airway" and "Dyspnea, Respiratory Distress, & Respiratory Failure".  I wasn't aware of a style on this; some titles inherently strike me as plural. Again, I don't care that much; there is a need for the article related to a hot situation in another one. If you've got a better title, let me know, because I do need to send it to an Editor or two who need it for reference. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 00:15, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
