Breathing frequency decrease and emphysema?

In emphysema, a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the destruction of alveoli leads to reduced surface area for gas exchange, which can initially cause an increase in breathing frequency as the body attempts to compensate for decreased oxygen intake. However, as the disease progresses, patients often experience respiratory muscle fatigue and reduced lung compliance, which can lead to a decrease in breathing frequency. This reduction can indicate respiratory failure or inadequate ventilation, requiring medical intervention. Ultimately, managing emphysema focuses on improving airflow and oxygenation to maintain adequate respiratory function.


How does emphysema affect IRV?

Emphysema damages the alveoli in the lungs, leading to decreased elasticity and impaired gas exchange. This results in a loss of lung volume and an inability to fully expand the lungs during inhalation. Consequently, the Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) is reduced, as patients have difficulty taking in additional air beyond their normal tidal volume. This limitation contributes to the overall respiratory difficulties experienced by individuals with emphysema.
