Understanding Respiratory Rate
Respiration Rate is the average number of breaths taken per minute (rpm) for all sleep sessions for that day.
Resting respiration rates for healthy adults are generally between 12-20 rpm. Respiration rates outside that range, as well as significant changes from your baseline rate, can be an indicator of serious underlying health issues. Please consult with your physician if any of these conditions exist.
