What does EUPNEA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
Normal, easy breathing that is not strained, rapid or laboured.
Doctors and nurses use eupnea as the baseline against which they measure abnormal breathing patterns, such as breathing that is too fast, too slow or noticeably effortful. A patient who is resting comfortably and breathing at a normal, relaxed rate is said to be in eupnea, and the term appears in charts and clinical notes rather than in casual speech. Eupnea is also spelled eupnoea in British usage, though eupnea is the form that fits the Scrabble-style word lists. The word comes from Greek roots meaning good or easy breath, which is a fair description of what it names.
