Learning Insights: The respiratory rate is the number of breaths someone takes every
minute. It is one of the main vital signs, along with blood pressure, pulse,
and temperature.

When a person inhales, oxygen enters their lungs and travels to the organs. When they
exhale, carbon dioxide leaves the body. A normal respiratory rate plays a critical role in
keeping the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide even in the body.

This article looks at the normal respiratory rates in adults and children. It also
discusses the causes of high or low respiratory rates and when a person should
contact a doctor.
