The shorter measurement duration may result in overestimation of the respiratory rate, especially in young children or children with tachypnea. Nonetheless, the shorter measurement times correlated well with the 1 min measurement, and the difference was less than one per minute compared with the 1 min measurement. Thus, this method may be able to detect life-threatening conditions earlier than longer measurement times.
