You're running down the soccer field when you develop a side stitch; what should you do?

slow down, rest, and do gentle stretching activities
lie down and ice the pain until it goes away
keep your upper body elevated and drink lots of water
massage your side slowly until the pain goes away

Good Morning!
 
Slow down, rest, and do gentle stretching activities

To relieve the pain it is important to do stretching, deep breathing. Slowing down is a faster way to do it all.
 
Hugs!

20 times a minute is usually the average respritory rate of an adult. additionally the patient is breathing on his own, is clearly maintaining his airway, and is intaking a sufficient amount of air. you shouldn't use a bag valve mask, cpap, or other form of positive pressure ventilation, unless the patient has lost control of his airway, and is not breathing (apneic) or has rapid breathing or slow and shallow respirations. this patient would most likely and should be put on an non-rebreather mask or nrb attached to 100% high flow oxygen at 15 l/min. don't use a nasal cannula, as the amount of oxygen it provides is limited with a rate of 6 l/min.
