What is the normal respiratory rate for an child and what will be the first sign of respiratory distress?
Children have different breathing rates. I assume you're asking about resting breathing rate, so this is what I'll discuss. If the child is overweight or obese, the child's breathing rate will be faster and deeper in order to get a sufficient amount of oxygen to the body. If the child is asthmatic, or has a respiratory illness, they too may have deeper breathing at rest. Respiratory distress as you call it may be the child looking pale. They may struggle to breath (wheezing), or breath too often sharply (hyperventilation). You should tell a child who's having breathing difficulty to breathe at you're rate. If they look faint etc, call an ambulance immediately, and prepare to give emergency first aid if they fall unconscious( hypothetically speaking of course). If you believe your child has respiratory issues, see your local Doctor or GP.
What are the late symptoms of respiratory distress?
before death, acute respiratory distress causes:-infilatrates on the chest, both sides, while sparing of the costophrenic angles-ratio of PaO2:FiO2 (partial pressure in blood : fraction of inspired oxygen) of less than 200mmHgthe first is determinable by getting an AP xray, the second by doing ABGs.symptoms occur within 24-48 hours
When was positive end-expiratory pressure first introduced to treat patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome?
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was first introduced in the 1970s as a treatment for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Early studies highlighted its benefits in improving oxygenation and lung function in patients with this condition. The technique became more widely adopted in the clinical setting as understanding of ARDS progressed through the 1980s and 1990s.
What do you do when a baby is retracting?
When a baby is retracting, it indicates difficulty breathing, often due to airway obstruction or respiratory distress. First, assess the situation; check for other signs of distress, such as grunting or cyanosis. If the baby is in severe distress or unresponsive, seek emergency medical assistance immediately. For mild retractions, ensuring the baby is in a comfortable position and monitoring their breathing closely may help, but professional evaluation is crucial.

What to do if your bird is gasping for air?
If your bird is gasping for air, it's crucial to act quickly. First, ensure the environment is calm and free of stressors, then observe for any visible signs of distress or obstruction. You should seek immediate veterinary attention, as respiratory distress can indicate serious underlying issues. In the meantime, keep your bird warm and avoid handling it excessively to prevent further stress.
What is the difference between emergency and first aid?
Emergency care is what a person in distress needs. Some needs of a person in distress may be first aid, CPR, ACLS, and others.
What status is checked first when conducting a medical assessment?
Respiratory status
