Tachypnea in infants is defined as an elevated respiratory rate, typically exceeding 60 breaths per minute. Normal respiratory rates for infants range from 30 to 60 breaths per minute, so a rate above this threshold indicates tachypnea. It can be a sign of various underlying conditions, including respiratory infections or distress. If observed, it is important to seek medical evaluation.
