RESP Monitoring
10-3
Some patients may have restricted thoracic movements and rely mainly on abdominal respiration. To obtain the
best Resp waveform, place the electrode LL on the left abdomen with strongest expansion, as shown below:
10.5 Resp Setup
10.5.1 Set Resp Alarm
1) Select the respiration parameter area or waveform area to enter [Resp] menu.
2) Select [Alarm] tab.
3) Set the alarm as required.
10.5.2 Set Apnea Time
No-breath detection is to detect the longest interval between two adjacent RESPs. When the actual no-breath time
of the patient exceeds the set no-breath time the Monitor will respond to no-breath alarms according to the value
of [Apnea Time].
To set [Apnea Time]:
1) Select the Resp parameter area or waveform area to enter [Resp] menu.
2) Select [Alarm] tab.
3) Set [Apnea Time].
10.5.3 Set RR Source
1) Select the RESP parameter area or waveform area to enter [Resp] menu.
2) Select [Setup] tab.
3) Set [RR Source]:
If you select [Auto] the system will automatically select RR source based on the priority, which is AG, CO
2
and ECG.
If there is no valid measurement for the currently set RR source, the system will automatically switch [RR
Source] to [Auto].
