Can we merge this page with Hypoventilation? After all, tachypnea is already merged/redirected to Hyperventilation Ayvah 03:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC) reply

I understand bradypnea to be about slow respiratory rate, whereas hypoventilation is about reduced respiratory exchange. Combining tachypnea with hyperventilation seems erroneous. Daniel Norton 2006-05-24 17:18 UTC

Indeed, the article that combines tachypnea with hyperventilation identifies the difference. It really should never have been combined. Daniel Norton 2006-05-24 17:28 UTC

Yes, whichever way it ends up being, either both should be merged (tachypnea with hyperventilation and bradypnea with hypoventilation, with appropriate explanations) or neither should be merged. I will make the suggestion to separate tachypnea and hyperventilation over on that article's talk page. Thanks! Ayvah 13:13, 8 June 2006 (UTC) reply

Yes indeed. Where did the less than 3 breaths per minute come from?

I added the symptoms and causes to help understand why people have bradypnea. Im a CNA student and we didn't really learn much on what bradypnea or trachypnea was. When doing research it helped me learn more about it. Does it occur overtime or suddenly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djon2913 ( talk • contribs) 15:34, 25 May 2012 (UTC) reply
