The formula to calculate Breaths Per Minute (BPM) is:
\[ \text{BPM} = \frac{\text{TB}}{\text{TS}} \]
Where:
Breaths per minute is a measure of respiratory rate, which is the number of breaths a person takes within a minute. It is an important vital sign used to assess a person’s respiratory function and overall health. Normal respiratory rates vary depending on age, but typically range from 12 to 20 breaths per minute for a resting adult.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{BPM} = \frac{30}{2} = 15 \]
The Breaths Per Minute (BPM) is 15.
