Respiration rate, also known as breathing rate, is the number of breaths a person takes per minute.
It's a fundamental vital sign that helps assess a person's overall health. A normal respiration rate
for an adult at rest is typically between 12 and 20 breaths per minute. However, this can vary
depending on factors such as age, physical activity, fever, illness, and emotional state.
Children generally have higher respiration rates than adults. For infants, a normal rate might be
between 30 to 60 breaths per minute, while for older children, it can range from 15 to 25 breaths
per minute. Monitoring your respiration rate can provide valuable insights into your body's
oxygenation and overall well-being.
