Analyzing Multiple Vital Signs for Insights

Monitoring respiratory rate along with heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and heart rate shape can provide insights into a client's mechanical efficiency. A skewed higher respiratory rate, despite good HRV and heart rate, may indicate a mechanical issue affecting breathing efficiency, possibly due to poor conditioning or stress. Checking for tightness in the back, neck, or upper traps, using a CO2 tolerance test, or assessing rib cage mobility can help identify breathing restrictions that compromise oxygen intake and CO2 elimination.
