  2. Respiratory rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_rate

    An evaluation of respiratory rate for the differentiation of the severity of illness in babies under 6 months found it not to be very useful. Approximately half of the babies had a respiratory rate above 50 breaths per minute, thereby questioning the value of having a "cut-off" at 50 breaths per minute as the indicator of serious respiratory ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pediatric_Advanced_Life...

    If the child has no pulse and isn't breathing, start CPR. If the child has a pulse but isn't breathing, provide ventilation and give oxygen (when possible). Once it has been established that the child has a pulse, is breathing, and doesn't require immediate life saving treatment, the provider will begin their primary assessment followed by a ...

  4. Lung volumes and capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_volumes_and_capacities

    Lung volumes and lung capacities are measures of the volume of air in the lungs at different phases of the respiratory cycle. The average total lung capacity of an adult human male is about 6 litres of air. [1] Tidal breathing is normal, resting breathing; the tidal volume is the volume of air that is inhaled or exhaled in only a single such ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terms_of_lung_size...

    Hyperpnea – fast and deep breathing; Hyperventilation – increased breathing that causes CO 2 loss; Hypopnea – slow and shallow breathing; Hypoventilation – decreased breathing that causes CO 2 gain; Labored breathing – physical presentation of respiratory distress; Tachypnea – increased breathing rate

  6. Vital capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vital_capacity

    A normal adult has a vital capacity between 3 and 5 litres. [3] A human's vital capacity depends on age, sex, height, mass, and possibly ethnicity. [ 4 ] However, the dependence on ethnicity is poorly understood or defined, as it was first established by studying black slaves in the 19th century [ 5 ] and may be the result of conflation with ...

  7. Minute ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_ventilation

    Minute ventilation (or respiratory minute volume or minute volume) is the volume of gas inhaled (inhaled minute volume) or exhaled (exhaled minute volume) from a person's lungs per minute. It is an important parameter in respiratory medicine due to its relationship with blood carbon dioxide levels .

  8. Integrated pulmonary index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Pulmonary_Index

    Integrated pulmonary index (IPI) is a patient pulmonary index which uses information from capnography and pulse oximetry to provide a single value that describes the patient's respiratory status. IPI is used by clinicians to quickly assess the patient's respiratory status to determine the need for additional clinical assessment or intervention.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM-30-2-Can_Do

    The "15-45" at the end refers to the different respiratory criteria in the pediatric JumpSTART triage system, due to the differences between children's and adults' normal respiratory rates. [5] In pediatric patients: Children who are breathing under 15 times a minute are RED. [5] Children who are breathing over 45 times a minute are RED. [5]
