cerebral oxygen saturation are weighted venous samples (70% venous, 30% arterial) Pulse oximeter values are based on arterial oxygen saturations.

How do you obtain a respiratory rate?
This one is simple, just watch the patients chest for breathing movements for one min. (or 30sec x 2, or 15sec x 4 ect...) The result should be amount of breaths per minute. A normal individual will breath at rest about 12-16 per minute.
Important additional information:Newborns rates can be much higher at an average rate of 44 breaths per minute. Also a tip, don't let the person know you are trying to count their respirations, they will be aware of it and often breathe slower. helpful hints:It is better to get the respiratory rate for one whole minute rather multiplying it either by 30sec x 2 or 15sec x 4 because you might not get an accurate respiratory rate. you can also proceed to get the respiratory rate once you're finished getting the pulse rate and pretend you are still getting the pulse rate so that the patient cannot manipulate his/her breathing pattern.744
normal respiratory rate is 12-20 breaths per minute
over 20 is called tachypnoea
under 12 is called bradypnoea
a patient in respiratory arrest will need artificial respiration until the cause is identified and treated.
in basic life support you would give 2 rescue breaths to every 30 chest compressions ratio of 2:30
until advance life support arrives
advance life support is the use of a ventalator
