Respiration equipment to patient connection
Use the same setup as in the ECG measurement, see "ECG" section.
NOTE: Impedance respiration measurement with neonates is not
available in specific regions, including USA, Argentina, Guam, Puerto
Rico, Saint Croix, Saint Thomas, and Canada.
Turning on the respiration measurement
Select respiration to a waveform or digit field, otherwise respiration
data is not included in trends and no alarms are activated.
1. Press the
Others key.
2. Select Resp Setup - Measurement - ON.
Selecting the respiration waveform size
1. Press the Others key and select Resp Setup.
2. Select Size.
The greater the value, the larger the waveform size.
Selecting the respiration rate source
1. Press the Others key
2. Select Resp Setup - Resp Rate Source
3. Select the appropriate option:
•AUTO
• CO2
•Imped.
NOTE: The AUTO selection lets the monitor choose the
respiration rate source. If CO
2
is monitored, it is chosen to be
used. If not, then impedance respiration is chosen as the
respiration rate source.
Adjusting the respiration detection limit
Normally, the AUTO detection limit is recommended. However, if the
respiration is weak or affected by artifacts, they may not be included
in the respiration rate. To ensure the correct respiration rate, adjust
detection limits:
1. Press the
Others key.
2. Select Resp Setup - Detection Limit.
3. Adjust the limits.
Turning off the respiration measurement
1. Press the Others key
2. Select Resp Setup - Measurement - OFF.
