Is a respiratory rate of five to six breaths per minute low?
Q. I have a low respiratory rate, and am a little worried. Is this a symptom of anything i should be worried about (thyroid condition, brain injury), or this considered normal and only should be worried if it gets to less than 4? Also, I am not sure what my sleeping RR is. I am not an athlete, I only run about 7 hours a week and ice skate about 10 hours a week, so slightly over 2 hours of acitivity a day, and am overweight by a few pounds.

A. I'm no expert on this, but Wikipedia says an adult should average at least 12 breaths per minute, and teens/kids even more, so I would check with a doctor if I were you.

What is the normal respiratory rate for young infants?
Q. My 4-week-old son takes about 60 breaths per minute, which is seems a "little" high to me but not terribly fast. If I recall, my hospital discharge papers said 30-50 per minute was normal, but I may be wrong. His pediatrician didn't note any problem. Does anyone know if 60 bpm is common for a 1-month-old? Anyone with a baby close to this age...what is their respiratory rate so I can have a point of reference? Thanks!

How does an increase in intracranial pressure decrease respiratory rate?
Q. I just read this (and my book doesn't explain of course), and I cannot put the two together. I understand that intracranial pressure is a result of CSF, brain tissue, and blood , but I cannot relate this to the respiratory system. Use any chemistry/physiology/ or whatever explanation you can to help me better understand this. Detailed answers are extremely welcome.
Asked by ScottD - Wed Aug 19 17:09:38 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It's due to direct pressure on the brainstem; as intracranial pressure increases, you start to get herniation, and as a result, the brainstem (where the respiratory centers are) gets compressed and you begin to have respiratory dysfunction (it actually could be either faster or slower, but the point is that it is irregular). The respiratory changes are actually the third of a group of signs known as Cushing's triad, the other two of which are hypertension and bradycardia (increased BP from sympathetic stimulation due to hypoperfusion of the brain, and bradycardia due to the baroreceptor reflex). When you see those three together, it's pretty indicative of greatly increased ICP and that things are about to turn really bad, really fast for… [cont.]

Is there a device that will measure respiratory rate?
Q. I'm looking for something just like a heart monitor but for my breathing rate. Ideally it would be small and portable, but I will take anything. An added note, counting them myself won't work.

A. To my knowledge, the only way to do this is with a cardiorespiratory monitor, and those are not accurate. If you are wanting to measure the number of breaths per minute, the easiest way is to count them. A cardiorespiratory monitor can only measure the movement of the chest cavity. This causes issues, because with laughing, coughing, etc... the number will be inaccurate. In my experience, it is better to count by sight or by listening to breath sounds.

A. On of the effects of the chronic bronchitis is , it sluggishes the function of muco-ciliary function of the respiratory tract hence it can not effectively clear the foreign particles and so on. It is one of the reasons why they are vulnerable to other respiratory infections. The second reason is due to increased sputum production which gives the suitable medium for any microbe to thrive which eventually can raise an infection.

Do the following increase or decrease respiratory rate & depth?
Q. Increase in blood CO2 ___ decrease in blood O2 ___ increase in blood pH ___ decrease in blood pH ___ Does CO2 or O2 have a more marked effect on modifying the respiratory rate?
Asked by Mrs Hopkins - Thu Jul 2 11:07:32 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. An increase in blood CO2 increases respiration. A decrease in blood O2 increases respiration. An increase in blood pH (meaning it becomes less acidic, more alkali) decreases respiration. A decrease in blood pH (meaning it becomes more acidic) increases respiration. The body has both peripheral (in the body) and central (in the brain) chemoreceptors that monitor levels of O2, CO2, and pH. The peripheral chemoreceptors are not very sensitive. The central receptors are much more sensitive, but primarily to pH. Thus, the body is much more sensitive to CO2 levels than to O2 levels. This occurs because CO2 and H2O (the primary component of blood) combine to form carbonic acid, H2CO3. This is a weak acid that tends to dissociate in water, [cont.]

Heart/respiratory rate for a puppy?

I've no idea what the regular rates are, but it seems rather high for a puppy. Right now, his breathing rate is about 54/min and his heart rate is too fast for me to count by hearing.

Increased respiratory rate commonly occurs as a compensatory mechanism by which, our body try to get more amount of oxygen to meet the demands of the cells and tissues. Without which, the energy metabolism is greatly affected and the cell death is imminent. There are various conditions and illnesses that can cause tachypnea.

A. Usually a stroke happens when a blood clot blocks one of the major arteries pumping blood to the brain. The blockage usually increases blood pressure. The pulse rate/ and respiratory rate dropped because not enough blood wasn't being pumped back to the heart, and not enough blood to the lungs, which is why the patient had the stroke.

A. Catabolism is a process where cells break down complex, energy-rich compounds such as glucose to form smaller, less energy-rich combounds such as carbon dioxide and water. Some of the chemical energy from the original energy-rich molecules is transferred to adenosine triphosphate, the common energy carrying molecules in cells. Glycolysis is an anaerobic process, and when OXYGEN levels are LOW Glycolysis takes place. A molecule of glucose is split into two molecules of pyruvic acid. It is converted anaerobically to lactic acid. When we exercise excessively and develop stomach cramp, or a stitch , this is the build up of lactic acid. When the oxygen levels are eventually restored the lactic acid is converted into pyruvic, which can then… [cont.]

A. They're somewhat self-explanatory. Respiration rate is how many breaths you take per second. Minute volume would be how much air you expel (in liters or any other volume measurement) per minute. To test this, many exercise labs have a treadmill and a sort of face mask that measures air volume. A person walks/runs on the treadmill while wearing the mask; however, this is an expensive method. I'm not sure how else you could measure it. You'd have to find how many breaths per minute for each activity, then somehow find how much volume is put out for each. Good luck.

Asked by shantara b - Wed May 7 11:26:56 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. During the race, a part of your nervous system called the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated releasing adrenaline (epinephrine in America), making your heart beat faster. Once you have finished the race then no more extra adrenaline is being released so your heart will go back to normal speed. During the race your muscles and tissues require more energy and oxygen, so your respiratory rate increases to get more oxygen into the blood. Once you have stopped exercising, your muscles and tissues don't need as much oxygen so the respiratory rate goes back to normal.
