In a state of hypercapnia, the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood causes the pH of the blood to drop, leading to a state of respiratory acidosis.

It outlines the importance of monitoring vital signs and respiratory efforts, and highlights subjective questions to gather patient information about respiratory symptoms. The page describes the process of assessing signs like breathing patterns, lung sounds, and chest condition.

A single drop of blood contains millions of erythrocytes and just thousands of leukocytes. Specifically, males have about 5.4 million erythrocytes per microliter (µL) of blood, and females have approximately 4.8 million per µL. In fact, erythrocytes are estimated to make up about 25 percent of the total cells in the body.

Bradypnea is less than 12 breaths per minute, and tachypnea is greater than 20 breaths per minute. Break up the assessment by listening to the anterior lung sounds and then the heart sounds and allowing the patient to rest before listening to the posterior lung sounds.
