Why does the respiratory rate change depending on age?
You dead.
It will increase.
It increases.
The difference between normal and average respiratory rate is simple. Normal is healthy and cannot change and average most certainly can change.
your hart would stop and you would die
it decreases
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.
A change in respiratory rate or tidal volume.... meaning, respiratory rate decreases, maybe becomes apneic, or the tidal volume decreases...or maybe BOTH. Also, a circuit disconnect!
There is a change in population.
The three characteristics of a respiratory rate are rate, depth, and rhythm.
