Detailed explanation-1: -Bradypnea is an abnormally slow breathing rate. The normal breathing rate for an adult is typically between 12 and 20 breaths per minute. A respiration rate below 12 or over 25 breaths per minute while resting may signal an underlying health problem. Bradypnea can happen during sleep or when you’re awake.
Detailed explanation-2: -The normal respiratory rate for an adult at rest is 12 to 18 breaths per minute. A respiration rate under 12 or over 25 breaths per minute while resting may be a sign of an underlying health condition.
Detailed explanation-3: -For the purpose of this review, we define slow breathing as any rate from 4 to 10 breaths per min (0.07–0.16 Hz). The typical respiratory rate in humans is within the range of 10–20 breaths per min (0.16–0.33 Hz).
Detailed explanation-4: -Tachypnea in adults is breathing more than 20 breaths per minute. Twelve to twenty breaths per minute is a normal range.
