title: [Dyspnea, a symptom with multifactorial causes].
abstract: Dyspnoea is a symptom which must not be trivialised. It corresponds very often to a severe functional disorder and can quickly place the patient's life under threat. Worrying for the patient, this symptom will be explored in detail by the nurse on a clinical level and quantified with the aid of assessment scales.
