Electrode Placement for Respiration Monitoring
For respiration monitoring, the signal is passed by the same electrodes used for
cardiac monitoring, as illustrated below. The monitor uses the right arm (RA)
electrode and the left leg (LL) electrode as the path for the high-frequency signal.
For deep abdominal breathers, you may want to move the right arm (RA) electrode, in
order to span the maximum expansion and contraction of the lungs.
NOTE: If you are using this electrode placement for monitoring respiration, lead I and
II are compromised for monitoring ECG.
