She tells you that he is fine but has been paranoid and very demanding. You enter D.S.'s room to see how he is doing and to tell him you are going to be his nurse again. You note that his head bobs up and his mouth opens, like a fish taking in water, every time he inhales. He says, "I just can't seem to get enough air." What could account for this behavior? What actions should you take? Possible causes? To me it sounds like this may be describing air hunger. niratnry rata is 4, you auscultate slight air movement over the 13 n S

Explanation / Answer

It pretty much seems like air hunger which is a sensation or condition of not being able to breathe in enough air. Due to insufficient air, it leads to deep, rapid and labored breathing. This might be caused due to an increase respiratory drive due to low blood oxygen level and is something that is observed during fatigue. It is also called as Dyspnea. It is caused due to many reasons like high altitude, changes in temperature but majorly due to health of the individual. There are medications and bronchodilators that can be used for treating such conditions. There are breathing techniques that can be done like pursed lip breathing and strengthening exercises.
