Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFRespiration rate refers to the number of breaths a person takes per minute. In newborns, the respiration rate is higher than in adults because their lungs and respiratory system are still developing.
Key Points
- The normal respiration rate in a newborn ranges between 40-45 breaths per minute.
- Newborns breathe faster than older children and adults because they have smaller lungs, higher metabolic rates, and an immature respiratory control system.
- Their breathing may appear irregular, with occasional pauses or variations in depth, which is normal during the early stages of life.
Thus, it is concluded that the Respiration rate in new born is 40-45 Per Minute.
Hint
- 80-100 per minute is too high and may indicate respiratory distress or infection.
- 35-50 per minute includes some correct values but is a broader range than typically observed.
- 50-60 per minute is slightly higher than the average, though some newborns may occasionally breathe within this range.
