| | WSAVA 2001 - Emergency Respiratory Assessment |
 | | One clinical scenario that is often associated with this respiratory pattern is pneumothorax, and in dogs with spontaneous, rather than traumatically induced pneumothorax, the degree of chest movement can be surprisingly mild for the volume of pneumothorax. | | | A normal animal should have a respiratory rate of 15—30 breaths per minute and, because the majority of a resting inspiration is due to diaphragmatic contraction, there should be very little apparent chest movement. | | | Constantly changing body position in cats implies a much worse degree of dyspnea than it does in dogs. |

| | Respiratory arrest is first treated with Artificial respiration until the patient is revived or advanced life care arrives. | | | The heart with relation to the lungs (from an older edition of Grays Anatomy) This x-ray of the human chest shows the lungs as dark regions The lung is an organ belonging to the respiratory system and interfacing to the circulatory system of air-breathing vertebrates. | | | Respiratory arrest is the cessation of the normal tidal flow of the lungs due to paralysis of the diaphragm, collapse of the lung or any number of respiratory failures. |

| | Airway obstruction may be partial or complete; the most common cause in an unconscious or collapsed person is upper airway obstruction due to posterior tongue displacement into the oropharynx secondary to a loss of muscular tone. | | | Complete respiratory arrest manifests clinically as absence of spontaneous ventilatory movement in an unconscious person, often with associated cyanosis, but it may develop acutely in a conscious victim secondary to foreign body obstruction (eg, café coronary). | | | Primary respiratory arrest is caused by airway obstruction, decreased respiratory drive, or respiratory muscle weakness. |

| | NEJM -- Respiratory arrest in near-fatal asthma |
| | To examine the mechanisms by which patients might die during acute exacerbations of asthma, we studied 10 such patients who arrived at the hospital in respiratory arrest or in whom it developed soon (within 20 minutes) after admission. | | | Despite the severe respiratory acidosis, no patient had a serious cardiac arrhythmia during the resuscitation maneuvers or during hospitalization. | | | We observed systemic hypertension and sinus tachycardia in eight patients, atrial fibrillation in one, and sinus bradycardia in another. |

| | Prolonged apnea (respiratory arrest) is a life-threatening disorder that requires immediate medical attention and first aid. | | | In infants and children, the most common cause of cardiac arrest (lack of an effective heartbeat) is a preceding respiratory arrest. | | | Any episode of apnea, even a temporary one, in which a person turns blue, has a seizure, becomes limp, or remains drowsy or unconscious, requires prompt medical attention. |
