Key facts

• PhenX - respiratory - respiratory rate - infant protocol 091401
• For infants (15 days to 3 years of age), a study staff member listens to breath sounds via a stethoscope lightly placed on the infant's chest for 60 seconds to count the number of complete respiratory cycles (one inspiration and one expiration). Note that because respiratory rate in infants is significantly different when awake vs. when asleep, studies should be consistent in measuring this variable.
