11 RESPIRATION MONITORING
Coincidence Alarm
The coincidence alarm alerts you when the respiration rate is within 20% of the heart
rate over three consecutive breaths. This alarm indicates that the monitor may be
counting heart beat artifacts as respiration signals. The monitor alarms and displays
the message Coincidence if the coincidence alarm is turned on. If the coincidence
alarm is off, the monitor does not alarm but still displays the message. This alarm
grade is serious for neonatal monitoring and advisory for adult and pediatric
monitoring. Check and change the electrode placement if you receive a coincidence
message until you obtain a clear respiration signal.
