More than half of the patients in the ICU are ventilated the first 24 hours after ICU admission; comprised of individuals who have acute respiratory failure, compromised lung function, difficulty in breathing, or failure to protect their airway.
MEASURING RESPIRATORY RATE The human body continuously exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide through the act of respiration.Normal respiratory rates are dependent upon age. Assessment of Respiratory Rate Counting the number of respirations per minute assesses resp-iratory rate. The nurse observes the full respiratory cycle (one inspiration and one expiration) for rate and pattern of breathing. The clientâs respiratory rate is assessed by counting the number of breaths for 30 seconds and then multiplying by 2. If the nurse detects irregularities or difficulty breathing, the respirations are counted for one full minute. Factors That Influence Respiratory Rate The respiratory rate in some clients may increase if they become aware that their breaths are being counted. For this reason, the nurse should maintain the posture of counting the radial pulse while counting breaths per minute. Other factors that may in-crease respiratory rate include exercise, stress, increased temper-ature, and increased altitude.
