<span>The answer to this question would be: Heart rate 88
</span>
Respiratory distress in asthma patient can be dangerous. It won't only affect the respiratory system but also cardiovascular system. In asthma, the expiration phase is longer and harder because of the obstruction. This will cause lower amount of oxygen gain and lower amount of carbon dioxide dumped. The right ventricle also needs extra force since the lungs pressure is increased. The heart rate should be increased in this case to compensate the lower oxygen level. 

Heart rate 88 is normal, not increased. This is a sign that the heart is already tired and might go arrest.
