A comprehensive overview of various respiratory patterns, including normal breathing, as well as several abnormal patterns such as sigh, tachypnea, hyperventilation, kussmaul respirations, bradypnea, hypoventilation, cheyne-stokes respiration, biot's respiration, and chronic obstructive breathing. Each pattern is described in detail, with information on the correct answers, characteristics, causes, and clinical implications.

Normal - correct answers -rate: 10-20 breaths/min -depth: 500-800 mL -pattern: even -ratio of pulse to respirations ~4: sigh - correct answers -punctuate the normal breathing pattern -purposeful to expand alveoli -if frequent, may indicate emotional dysfunction; may lead to hyperventilation and dizziness tachypnea - correct answers -rapid, shallow breathing
24 breaths/min -normal response to fever, fear, or exercise -increases with respiratory insufficiency, pneumonia, alkalosis, pleurisy, and lesions in the pons hyperventilation - correct answers -increase in rate and depth -normally occurs with extreme exertion, fear, or anxiety -occurs with diabetic ketoacidosis, hepatic coma, salicylate overdose (producing a respiratory alkalosis to compensate for the metabolic acidosis), lesions of the midbrain, and alteration in blood gas concentration (either increase in CO2 or decrease in O2) -blows off CO2 causing a decreased level in the blood (alkalosis) Kussmaul respirations - correct answers -diabetic ketoacidosis -causes hyperventilation bradypnea - correct answers -slow breathing
