11 RESPIRATION MONITORING
Rsp Safety Considerations
WARNING:
z Do not rely upon impedance respiration monitoring as
the sole method for detecting the cessation of
breathing. Patients at risk for respiratory distress
should be observed closely and heart rate alarms
should be enabled and set appropriately. The use of
additional methods for respiratory monitoring, such as
SpO
2
are recommended whenever possible.
z Large amplitude pacer spikes (100 mV or greater) may
interfere with the monitor’s ability to monitor
respiration.
z Impedance respiration monitoring and pacemaker spike
detection are inoperative when using either the
shielded blue lead wires or the ESU block.
