Final answer:
Deep respirations would not cause a decrease in tidal volume, as they involve taking more air in with each breath, unlike shallow, irregular, or agonal respirations, which generally decrease tidal volume.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question relates to how different patterns of breathing affect tidal volume, which is the volume of air moved into or out of the lungs during a single breath when at rest. Deep respirations, by definition, involve inhaling or exhaling more air with each breath, thereby increasing tidal volume. Shallow breathing, irregular breathing, and agonal respirations (a pattern of breathing characterized by gasping, labored breathing, typically due to severe distress) are more likely to decrease tidal volume. Therefore, deep respirations would NOT cause a decrease in tidal volume.
