2. Breathing Rate

Most people can easily recognize the difference between typical breathing and agonal breathing unless a person's normal pattern is deep and slow. The typical respiratory rate of a resting adult is 12 to 20 breaths each minute. A person experiencing agonal respiration tends to breathe much slower, around 10 to 12 breaths a minute.
