10.7 RESP Monitoring
10.7.1 Overview
Respiration is detected by measuring thoracic impedance. The monitor measures the change of
the impedanec between the RA and LA electrodes of the ECG lead I, or the RA and LL electrodes
of the ECG lead II, and produces a respiration waveform as shown below.
Figure 10-20 Respiration Waveform and Parameter
1. Waveform name.
2. RESP lead: I or II
3. Waveform gain: 7 options are available: ×0.25, ×0.5, ×1, ×2, ×3, ×4, ×5. If the gain is too
large, the upper part of the waveform may not be normally displayed.
4. RESP label: Selecting this label, you can open the RESP SETUP menu.
5. RR: Respiration rate numerics.
NOTE
z Respiration monitoring is not recommended on patients who are very active, as
this will cause false alarms.
z It is recommended to set Waveform gain to 1 when external electromagnetic
interference is great.
