Shallow breathing can be triggered by anxiety, stress, night sleep (or being in a horizontal position), fatigue, mouth breathing , and other factors that cause hyperventilation.[normalbreathing.com]
We have to make a clear distinction between muscle fatigue and muscle weakness. While fatigue is changing over rest, weakness is not.[shortnessofbreath.it]
The resulting increase in [H ] has a number of deleterious effects on exercise tolerance: impaired muscle contraction; perception of limb fatigue; and ‘shortness of breath’.[encyclopedia.com]
The slow-twitch fatigue-resistant muscle fibers in the infant are underdeveloped. The soft compliant chest wall provides little opposition to the deflating tendency of the lungs.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Shallow respiration symptoms The symptoms of chest breathing are very individual and can range from dyspnea (or shortness of breath, which is common during terminal cancer, HIV-AIDS, cystic fibrosis, COPD, emphysema, and many other conditions) and angina pain[normalbreathing.com]

The hypothalamus and other regions associated with the limbic system are involved in regulating respiration in response to emotions, pain, and temperature. For example, an increase in body temperature causes an increase in respiratory rate.[opentextbc.ca]
A mismatch between ventilation and perfusion is the most common cause of hypoxemia. When the V/Q ratio is less than 1 throughout the lung, arterial hypoxemia results.[emedicine.medscape.com]

In addition, many individuals with sleep apnea experience a dry throat in the morning after waking from sleep, which may be due to excessive snoring. There are two types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea.[opentextbc.ca]
., scleroderma, collagen vascular disorders) AbnormalBreathing Patterns Obstructed breathing: In the presence of airway obstruction, the work of breathing is minimized by maintaining a slow rate and increased tidal volume.[depts.washington.edu]
Crackles are abnormalbreath sounds that are produced with the presence of moisture or mucus in the small airways or by the opening of peripheral airways or collapsed alveoli. An adult patient is intubated after being pulseless for several minutes.[brainscape.com]
The EMT should manage both conditions – tachypnea and bradypnea – by ventilating the patient with a bag-valve-mask device.[emswebinfo.com]
The patient has tachypnea and demonstrates accessory muscle use. Breath sounds reveal bilateral expiratory wheezes and SpO2 is 87%. A respiratory therapist should recommend a bronchodilator by A. MDI with a spacer.[brainscape.com]
In contrast, forced breathing , also known as hyperpnea, is a mode of breathing that can occur during exercise or actions that require the active manipulation of breathing, such as singing.[opentextbc.ca]
Similar swings in ventilation sometimes occur in persons with heartfailure or with central nervous system disease.[britannica.com]
Nocturnal dyspnea and coarse crackles are indications of congestive heartfailure. Hypertension can be an etiologic factor for heartfailure.[brainscape.com]
However, some medical conditions, such as stroke and congestive heartfailure, may cause damage to the pons or medulla oblongata.[opentextbc.ca]
Recent reports have suggested that excessive sedation is associated with unnecessarily prolonged mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit length of stay.[rcjournal.com]
The changes in RSBI in both modes of ventilatory support suggest a similar improvement in the work of breathing in these patients. Interestingly, this is in spite of varying changes in ventilatory parameters among the devices.[dovepress.com]

Some of these receptors (called irritant receptors) are innervated by myelinated nerve fibres, others (the J receptors) by unmyelinated fibres. Stimulation of irritant receptors also causes coughing.[britannica.com]

As a refresher, cardiac output is comparable to minute ventilation, as it is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. Stroke volume , of course, is the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each contraction.[cmattoon.com]
However, some medical conditions, such as stroke and congestive heart failure, may cause damage to the pons or medulla oblongata.[opentextbc.ca]

The ratio of dead-space to tidal-gas volume can be calculated on the basis of the difference between CO 2 in arterial blood and in exhaled gas (see Workup).[emedicine.medscape.com]
DANGERS OF HYPERCAPNIA The dangers from an elevated PaCO 2 are usually not from the excess carbon dioxide per se.[lakesidepress.com]
NIV has been shown to reduce pCO 2 . 3 For NHF, this has not yet been demonstrated in a similar manner, but initial reports indicate that NHF may also result in efficient reduction in hypercapnia. 18 The decrease in hypercapnia was also shown in a long[dovepress.com]
At the first signs of nocturnal hypercapnia, the patient should be offered NIV therapy rather than waiting until the hypercapnia extends into the daytime period.[shortnessofbreath.it]
Increased dead-space ventilation results in hypoxemia and hypercapnia. This increase can be caused by decreased pulmonary perfusion due to hypotension, pulmonary embolus, or alveolar overdistention during mechanical ventilation.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Respiratory failure can be further classified by whether or not hypercapnia (elevated levels of carbon dioxide) is present. These patients are severely ill and will likely die without intervention.[cmattoon.com]
