The typical respiratory rate for a healthy adult at rest is 12â20 breaths per minute. Average resting respiratory rates by age are: 1  birth to 6 weeks: 30â60 breaths per minute. 2  6 months: 25â40 breaths per minute. normal respiratory rate is termed eupnea, an increased respiratory rate is termed tachypnea and a lower-than-normal respiratory rate is termed bradypnea. Breathing (which in organisms with lungs is called ventilation and includes inhalation and exhalation) is a part of respiration.
The normal respiratory rate is 30 to 60 breaths per minute from birth to one year, 24 to 50 breaths per minute from one to three years and 22 to 34 breaths from three to six years old. As the child moves into school-age, the normal respiratory rate slows. From age six to twelve, the normal rate is 18 to 30 breaths per minute, while 12 to 16 breaths is the normal rate from age 12 to 18.
