Being Ill ca. influence it pretty well.
Strong emotions can cause the respiratory rate to increase.
Certain medications primarily depressants or alcohol can cause a decrease in someone's respiratory rate.
10-20/min.
Exercise, inflammation, excitement level, anatomy and medications can all affect the respiratory rate.
The answer depends on the location of the bacteria. In the bladder, if causing a UTI, there is unlikely to be a big change in respiratory rate. In the blood, or even in the kidneys, an increase is likely.
It increases.
COPD can affect the rate and depth of breathing including respiratory volumes. A stress test will also show irregular changes.
It is due to CO2 reduction. Low CO2 stimulates chemo-receptors in brain stem. Respiratory rate is reduced in order for CO2 to come back to normal.
It will induce a respiratory alkalosis, as carbon dioxide is washed out of the blood by the increased ventilation rate.
An abnormal respiratory rate is the number of times that a person breathes in one minute that is outside of the normal range of respirations in most people. The average normal rate for adults is 60 to 90, and for infants it is 100 to 140.
Why does the respiratory rate change depending on age?
