Which sign would NOT typically indicate respiratory compromise during a rapid assessment?

Cold extremities would not typically indicate respiratory compromise during a rapid assessment. Respiratory issues are usually associated with symptoms that directly impact the ability to breathe or sufficiently oxygenate the body. Signs of respiratory compromise often include difficulty in speaking due to shortness of breath, positioning such as tripod stance to facilitate better breathing, and agitation stemming from inadequate oxygenation or the feeling of suffocation.

In contrast, cold extremities can be indicative of circulatory problems or shock rather than direct respiratory distress. While they may manifest in a patient experiencing overall systemic issues, they do not specifically reflect the patient's respiratory capability. Thus, cold extremities do not align with the common signs that suggest respiratory compromise.
