No, they are different. Bradypnea occurs if a patient's respirations slow from their normal rate. Hypopnea occurs when the depth of respiration changes from their norm. The definitions are listed below.
Bradypnea: Abnormal slowness of respiration.
Hypoventilation: Abnormally slow and shallow respiration, resulting in an increased level of carbon dioxide in the blood.
Hypopnea: Literally, underbreathing. Breathing that is shallower or slower than normal.
Apnea: no respirations.
