pulm fibrosis = restrictive disease - he has problem with inspirium, so he must increase frequency becuse tidal volume is decreased due to restriction of pulmonary inflating
obstructive diseases - he has problem with expirium, so he must decrease frequency with increased tidal volume

in pulmonary fibrosis, there is a problem with inspiration,and yet the pts already remain tachypneic,while most of tidal volume is utilized to ventilate dead space! [unnecassary work]
so the best option is to take slower but deep breaths....thts wht respiratory rehabilitation and physiotherapy is all about!

excuse me
i think that for minimize the work , the restrictive patient should respirate at lower tidal volume ( superficial breathing ) because he spend more energy for expanding the stiff lung
and you know that increase in volume ( tidal ) equale to increase in recoil thus the restrictive patient should breath with low volume and for adequate ventilation he should increase the respiratory rate
RAPID SUPERFICIAL BREATHING
