11.6 RESP Monitoring
11.6.1 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.

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
•
Respiration monitoring is not recommended on patients who are very active, as
this will cause false alarms.
•
It is recommended to set Waveform gain to 1 when external electromagnetic
interference is great.
