==Overview==
==[[Tachypnea overview|Overview]]==
'''Tachypnea''' (or "tachypnoea") ([[Greek language|Greek]]: "rapid breathing") is characterized by rapid breathing and is not identical with hyperventilation - tachypnea may be necessary for a sufficient gas-exchange of the body, for example after exercise, in which case it is not hyperventilation.


==Common Causes of Tachypnea==
==[[Tachypnea pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
[[Dyspnea]] is commonly associated with [[tachypnea]].
[[Metabolic acidosis]]


== Differential Diagnosis of Disorders Associated with Tachypnea==
==[[Tachypnea causes|Causes]]==
In alphabetical order:
*[[Acute MI]]
*[[Angina]]
*[[Anxiety]]
*[[Beta-agonists]]
*[[CHF]]
*[[COPD]]
*[[Diabetic ketoacidosis]]
*[[Head trauma]]
*[[Hyperthyroidism]]
*[[Hypotension]]
*[[Metabolic acidosis]]
*[[Pneumonia]]
*[[Pneumothorax]]
*[[Restrictive lung disease]]
*[[Salicylate toxicity]]
*[[Sepsis]]
*[[Severe dehydration]]
*[[Sympathomimetic]]s (e.g. [[cocaine]])


==Diagnosis==
==[[Tachypnea differential diagnosis|Differential Diagnosis]]==


=== History and Symptoms ===  
==[[Tachypnea epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
*History focus on time course, associated symptoms, past history, precipitants


===Physical Examination===
==[[Tachypnea risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
[[Tachypnea]] varies with age:
*Infants = 24-38 rpm
*Adults & small children = 12-19 rpm


=== Laboratory Findings ===
==[[Tachypnea natural history|Natural history, Complications, and Prognosis]]==
Useful laboratory studies to order might include:
*[[Arterial blood gas]]
*[[CBC]]
*[[Electrolytes]]
*[[Renal function]]
*[[Glucose]]
*[[Pulse oximetry]]
*[[Pulmonary function]]
*[[Asprin levels]]
*[[Toxicology screen]]


=== Chest X Ray ===
==Diagnosis==
*Should be included in workup

=== Spiral CT ===
*This is a useful study to evaluate both the lung parenchyma and to rule out [[pulmonary embolism]]


=== Echocardiography ===  
==Treatment==
*Useful if [[congestive heart failure]], [[congenital heart disease]], or [[cardiac tamponade]] are suspected
