Normal Range
Average respiratory rate reported in a healthy adult at rest is usually given as 12–18 breaths per minute but estimates do vary between sources, e.g., 12–20 breaths per minute, 10–14, between 16–18, etc. With such a slow rate, more accurate readings are obtained by counting the number of breaths over a full minute.
