    Masking - Respiratory Patterning

    Uploaded by

    Sargent Goodchild
    The document discusses the brain's high oxygen requirements and the effects of oxygen deprivation. It notes that the brain can use up to 50% of the body's oxygen and lists factors like physical and intellectual activity that influence oxygen needs. The document also outlines respiratory patterning and oxygen enrichment programs that aim to improve breathing and oxygen intake in brain-injured children through techniques like positive manual therapy, oxygen masks, and active movement programs. The goals are to achieve benefits like deeper breathing, improved functions, and reduced seizures.

    Respiratory Patterning in Brain-Injured Children

    The Brain’s Oxygen Requirements

    The components of Atmospheric Air:

    Nitrogen 78.10%

    Oxygen 20.90%

    Argon 00.90%

    Carbon Dioxide 00.03%

    Other Gases 00.02%

    A human being will die of starvation in 55-65 days.

    A human being will die of absolute thirst in one day to two weeks.

    A human being will die of total oxygen deprivation in seconds to minutes.

    Malnutrition, dehydration and hypoxia have multiple severe results, including brain-injury.

    Anoxia means no oxygen.

    Hypoxia means a shortage of oxygen.

    Acute malnutrition
    Acute dehydration brain dysfunction brain injury death
    Acute hypoxia

    Chronic malnutrition
    Chronic dehydration brain dysfunction brain injury
    Chronic hypoxia

    The Relationship of Temperature and the Need for Oxygen

    The need for oxygen arises in this order:


    1. Sub-freezing
    2. Freezing
    3. Above freezing
    4. Above average temperatures
    5. Great heat

    What are We Capable of Breathing?

    Thirty times per minute; two and a half quarts of air each breath.
    The lungs contain three quarts of air.
    During quiet times we breathe about one pint of air with each breath.

    We breathe fifteen times per minute during quiet times.
    Oxygen and the Brain

    By age five the brain is close to its mature size.


    The percentage of total body weight of the brain is one fifteenth, or 66.6%
    The brain may use up to 50% of the body’s total oxygen.
    The human adult brain weighs slightly more than three pounds.
    The human adult brain uses about 20% of the body’s total oxygen.
    A human being placed in an airless environment such as pure nitrogen would lose consciousness in
    twenty seconds, or after four breaths.
    It takes ten seconds to use up all the stored oxygen that is contained in the brain.

    Factors Determining How Much Oxygen is Required.

    I. Physical activity
    II. Intellectual activity
    III. Ambient temperature
    a. Internal
    b. External

    1. Physical Activity:
    The need for oxygen increases in this order:

    lying
    sitting
    standing
    walking
    running

    2. Intellectual Activity:
    The need for oxygen increases in this order:

    sleeping
    day dreaming
    thinking routine thoughts
    thinking excited thoughts
    thinking of a highly demanding nature
    thinking when in danger

    Chest Growth Statistics

    In a total of 987 children:

    88% were under the 50th percentile (888)


    70% were under the 10th percentile (698)
    42% were under the 3rd percentile (422)

    **Average chest growth was 156% compared to well children.

    Head Growth Statistics

    In a total of 987 children:

    79% were under the 50th percentile (785)


    48% were under the 10th percentile (485)
    43% were under the 3rd percentile (436)

    **Average head growth was 167% compared to well children.
