The rate is twice as high as the adult rate.
The rate is twice as high as the adult rate.
CO2
The average breathing for an adult is 12 to 20 breaths per minute. The act of breathing consists of two phases, inspiration and expiration.Early signs of respiratory distress include:- increased respiratory rate- flaring of the nostrils- use of accessory muscles of respiration
About 20 respirations in 1 minute.
Children are growing at faster rate. They need more oxygen for the increased metabolic activities. So the heart rate as well as the respiratory rate of children is higher as compared to adults.
it depends on if your obese (which you probably are).. so yea
For a healthy adult: heart rate of 60-100 beats/minute, respiratory rate of 12-20 breaths/minute
The normal respiratory rate for a teen, like adults, would probably be between 14-20 breaths per minute.
Why does the respiratory rate change depending on age?
Infants have smaller lungs, and although they also have smaller bodies, the smaller lungs must work faster to exchange the amount of gasses, i.e. O2 and CO2, the same way their hearts beat faster than an adult's to pump the amount of blood they need because of it's small size.
The three characteristics of a respiratory rate are rate, depth, and rhythm.
