CHAPTER 10
Monitoring RESP
WhenequippedwiththeCO2orAGENToption,thepatient’srespirationratecanbemeasuredas
thetimeintervalbetweendetectedbreaths.Alternatively,thepatient’srespirationratecanbe
measuredusingthepneumaticbellowsandthewSpO2module.
Patient Preparation for RESP Monitoring
Whenpreparingapatient,themonitoringmethodusedwillimpacttheperformanceand
operationoftheRESPparameter.
Monitoring Respiration using CO2
CO2‐derivedrespirationiscalculatedbymeasuringthetimeintervalbetweendetectedbreaths;
seechapter7(ifequippedwiththeLoFlooption)orchapter9(ifequippedwiththeAGENT
option)fordetailedmonitoringinformation.ForRESPVSboxfunctionswhenCO2‐derived
respirationisthesource,seepage10‐3.

Monitoring Respiration using the Bellows
Bellows‐derivedrespirationismonitoredbydetectingabdominalorchestwallmotionusingthe
pneumaticbellowsdevice(REF989803152791)andthewSpO2module.
ThebellowsmaybeusedintheMRsystembore,althoughthemodulemustnotbeplacedwithin
theMRsystembore.Notethattherearenoalarms
forthebellows‐derivedrespirationrateasit
isnotintendedforvitalsignmonitoring.
CAUTION
If dropped, the wSpO2 module must be verified for correct operation before use; see page 14-12.
Note
If bellows respiration is turned on while the CO2 is on, bellows respiration rate data will appear
in the RESP VS box and CO2 respiration rate data will appear in the CO2 VS box.
