Cardiogenic Shock 2 catigories

1.intrinsic 2. extrinsic

A rate of 20 to 30 breaths/minute indicates a borderline abnormal rate; it suggests the onset of shock and the need for supplemental oxygen

A rate greater than 30 breaths/minute indicates a late stage of shock and the need for assisted ventilation.

examine
