Which respiration rate is considered tachypnea in adults?

12 breaths per minute

22 breaths per minute

Tachypnea means breathing faster than normal for a resting adult. In adults, the normal resting rate is about 12 to 20 breaths per minute. Rates above 20 are considered tachypnea, so 22 breaths per minute fits this definition. Rates around 12 or 18 are within normal limits, and 8 breaths per minute is slow breathing (bradypnea).

18 breaths per minute

8 breaths per minute
