Monitor mode - Respiration
14
Physics principle used
The respiration waveform is generated by the measurement of the patient’s
bioimpedance. By means of a high frequency signal, which is applied to two
electrodes (RA and LA), the thoracic impedance variation caused by the effort of
breathing is detected and displayed on the monitor, in graph and numeric forms.
Warnings
If you suspect a cable or conductor is ruptured, avoid using them.
The respiratory rhythm must be used to detect apnea.
Patient’s excessive movements may cause imprecise measurements.
