The normal respiratory rates for children by age group, in breaths per minute: 0 to 3 months: 30–60. 3 to 6 months: 30–45. 6 to 12 months: 25–40. 1 to 3 years: 20–30. 3 to 6 years: 20–25.
This PedsCases Note provides a one-page infographic on Pediatric Vital Signs and covers the age-based variation in normal ranges for vital signs throughout the pediatric population.
Pulse rates for a child who is sleeping may be 10 percent lower than the low rate listed. *Note: In infants and children aged three years or younger, the presence of a strong central pulse should be substituted for a blood pressure reading.
Respiratory Rate (breaths/min) Infant: 30–60: Toddler: 24–40: Preschooler: 22–34: School–Aged Child: 18–30: Adolescent: 12–16
Check out pediatric vital signs charts, which cover age-appropriate heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate for premature infants to children 15 years of age.
For children, the normal rate depends on their age: To measure how fast your child is breathing, count how many times their chest rises in 1 full minute. If they're outside...
adult general ward patients with a respiratory rate greater than 24 breaths/minute should be monitored closely and reviewed regularly even if the other vital signs are normal; a patient with a respiratory rate greater than 27 breaths/minute should receive immediate medical review;
In adults, the normal respiratory rate is roughly 12 to 20 breaths per minute. In children, the normal respiratory rate varies by age. Respiratory rate is one of the main vital signs...
Once a child reaches the age of 2, the respiration rate reduces from 44 breaths per minute to 26. The normal respiratory rate for healthy adults is between 12–20 breaths per minute....
Unlike adults, children breathe at different respirations per minute (rpm) according to age. It’s not uncommon for a newborn to have a respiratory rate of 60, whereas a 12-year-old can comfortably have a respiratory rate of 18 rpm. The following table details the normal respiratory rate and heart rate for unwell children of different ages.
