Respiratory Rate

The rate at which a person inhales and exhales when at rest is called the respiratory rate. It is one of the vital signs of human beings. Normally, it is approximately 12 to 20 inspirations per minute.

Is 92 Normal Pulse rate?

Yes, the normal pulse rate varies from 60 to 100. Anything between that is normal.

What is the measurement used to measure blood pressure called?

mm Hg (milimeters of mercury) usually measured with a Stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer .

How does anxiety affect vital signs?

Yes, you may have increased pulse, blood pressure or respirations.

Where can pulse be taken effectively?

There are many places: The middle of the neck where your clavice(collar bone) comes together, the inside of your wrist where the radical artery is almost visible on the surface of the skin or the middle of the chest to the left of the sternum(breast bone) where the ribs connect.

How much CO2 is emitted per breath?

An average adult breathes about 0.5 L of air per breath at rest. Normal air contains ~ 0.03 % of CO2 which gets enriched to 4 % of exhaled air. The difference, 3.97 % is what you exhaled. One mole of air at room temperature have a volume of ~22.4 L (use ideal gas equation p*V=n*R*T, p=pressure [bar], V=volume, n=amount in mole, R=ideal gas constant, T=temperature [Kelvin]). 1 mole CO2 is equivalent to 44 g.

So, 0.5 L*(1 mole /22.4 L)*(44 g / mole) = 0.982 g

One breath therefore contains ~ 1 g of exhaled CO2

Note: Some of the gases are not ideal (mostly CO2), the volume of one breath depends on the person (sex, age, fitness, size) and the activity. It can be up to 2 L at least. But it is just an approximation anyways.

Btw - 1 kWh of electricity cost about 600 g of CO2. An average light bulb of 60 W therefore gives rise to the production of 10 g CO2 / s during use (not counting its production or disposal).

*******************************************************************

If one breath is 4% CO2 and 1 breath is 0.5 liter, Mass of CO2 = 0.04*0.5 L* (1/22.4) mol/liter* 44 g/mol * (273 K/310 K) = 0.035 g/breath, not 1 g/breath. Body temp is 37 oC = 310 K, but that's a minor point.

If 1kWh results in 600 g of CO2, 60 Watts leads to 60W*600 g/kWH *(1/3600) h/sec *(1/1000) kw/W= .01 grams/second of CO2 not 10 g/sec. Otherwise people may feel guilty about breathing.

****************************************************************

some serious problems with the decimal place in the original answer. atmospheric content co2 is roughly 350 PPM or .00035, less than the original answer by several orders of magnitude. maybe that's why all the histeria about global warming, smoking in the boys room during middle school math....

Why do you take an apical pulse for people on digoxin?

You need to accurately check the heart rate. Digoxin can lower the heart rate to dangerous levels. You should not administer digoxin when pulse rate is already below 60.

What is widening pulse pressure?

When diastolic blood pressure (the lower BP number) is subtracted from the systolic blood pressure (the higher BP number), and the value is 60 or more, there is a widened pulse pressure. With persistently widened pulse pressures, individuals are at increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular (stroke) events.

Chlorine and ammonia mix health effects?

When mixed they cause chlorine gas which pulls hydrogen from cell walls and creates trace amounts of hydrochloric acid in the lungs and throat.

Basically death, excruciating pain, and coughing up blood.

What are normal body parameters?

Premature: Heart rate=120-170bpm

Respiratory Rate=40-70

Blood Pressure=55-75/35-45

0-3 months: Heart rate=100-150bpm

Respiratory Rate=35-55

Blood Pressure=65-85/45-55

3-6 months: Heart Rate=90-120bpm

Respiratory Rate=30-45

Blood Pressure=70-90/50-65

6-12 months:Heart Rate=80-120bpm

Respiratory Rate=25-40

Blood Pressure=80-100/55-65

1-3 years: Heart rate=70-110

Respiratory rate=20-30

Blood Pressure=90-105/55-70

3-6 years: Heart rate=65-110bpm

Respiratory rate=20-30

Blood Pressure=95-110/60-75

6-12 years: Heart Rate=60-95bpm

Respiratory rate=14-22

Blood pressure=100-120/60-75

12-18 years: Heart Rate=55-85

Respiratory rate=12-18

Blood Pressure= 110-135/65-85

Heart rate: 50-100 beats per minute, depending on physical age and conditioning.

Respiratory rate: 12 breaths per minute

Blood Pressure: 120/80mmHg but this is seen to rise as people get older due to increased arterial resistance.

What is the normal Respiratory rate for a 12 year old?

The normal respiratory rate for a twelve-year-old is between 18-30 breaths per minute.

In normal conditions is the apical pulse the same as the radial pulse?

NO. the difference between the Apical and Radial pulse is known as the pulse deficit. There should be some difference between the twon.

The average human pulse rate is?

The average adult resting pulse rate is between 70-80 beats per minute. Athletes may have slightly lower pulse rates and obese people higher.

What is the normal rate for a 18 year old?

There is a normal RANGE for pulse rates in the young adult. It is usually between 60-80, resting (but can be higher during activity, of course).

What are 3 characteristics of a respiratory surface?

The three characteristics of a respiratory rate are rate, depth, and rhythm.

What is the normal pulse for an adultkid?

The normal heart rate for adults is between 60-100 beats per minute. However, medications and certain conditions can raise and lower your normal pulse rate. Additionally, people who are very physically fit sometimes have a much lower resting heart rate. See your doctor to determine what a proper heart rate is for yourself personally.

What is normal pulse rate for a 30 year old woman?

The normal "resting" range for a healthy adult female is between 60-100 beats per minute. A "resting" heart rate would be taken when you are doing a very mild activity, but best taken when, in fact, resting (sitting, laying down, etc).

How to plot vital signs?

If you check the vital signs at the same time with the same machine in the same circimstances everyday for a specified time, for example, take all the vital signs at say 08:00, everyday for a week or a month, with the same machine, in the same position. Write them down everyday then at the end of the specific time, the week or month you can graph the vs and it will give you a "plot "

What is the relationship between heart rate and exercise?

becuse when we doing sport, our blood goes faster, the blood is go over the heart, and so if the blood goes faster the heart will go faster to.
