What is abnormal chest movement?
Abnormal chest movement refers to irregular or atypical patterns of breathing or chest expansion during respiration. This can manifest as asymmetry in chest rise and fall, retraction of the intercostal spaces, or paradoxical movement where the chest moves inwards during inhalation and outwards during exhalation. Such abnormalities may indicate underlying respiratory issues, trauma, or conditions affecting lung function. Evaluation by a healthcare professional is essential to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Who would have paradoxical respirations?
Paradoxical resps come from an airway obstruction. This can be caused by an acute process such as asthma or an exacerbation of COPD or even a mechanical obstruction, such as a piece of food lodging in the trachea. Someone who is in respiratory distress of any sort will have these resps and it is indicative of an extremely urgent situation, if not, emergent. Hope that this helps!!! clkfrau1@aol.com Paradoxical respirations are seen as movement of the chest wall opposite of what one would expect to see, i.e. inflation of the lung during expiration, and deflation of the lung during inspiration. This occurs usually after blunt trauma to the chest, resulting in flail chest (loss of stability of the thoracic cage due to multiple rib fractures, and/or separation of the ribs from the sternum) or with paralysis of the diaphragm. I believe the above answer may be referring to a similar term--paroxysmal respirations.
