Patterns of Breathing Flashcards
1
Q
normal breathing
12-17 B/min, 500-600 mL/B
A
eupnea
2
Q
INCREASE pulmonary ventilation matching INCREASING metabolic demand
A
hyperpnea
3
Q
INCREASE pulmonary ventilation > metabolic demand
A
hyperventilation (DECREASE CO2)
4
Q
DECREASE pulmonary ventilation < metabolic demand
A
hypoventilation (INCREASE CO2)
5
Q
INCREASE frequency of respiratory rate
A
tachypnea
6
Q
absence of breathing
A
apnea
ex. sleep apnea
7
Q
difficult or labored breathing
A
dyspnea
8
Q
dyspnea when recumbent, relived when upright
