Tachypnea means rapid respiratory rate. The absolute respiratory rate that is considered tachpnea depends on age. In children, the respiratory rate is normally higher than in adults, so infants and children have to breathe faster to be considered tachypneic.
Any resting respiratory rate higher than that listed below is considered tachypnea:
Newborn to 2 months: 60 breaths per minute
Infant 2 months to 1 year: 50 breaths per minute
Preschool Child 1 to 5 years: 40 breaths per minute
School age Child: 30 breaths per minute
Adult: 20 breaths per minute
