Respiration monitoring
The breathing signal is obtained by ECG electrodes. For more information o
connections see the “ECG monitoring” chapter.
In order to improve breathing performance, you can change the position of the ECG
electrodes, opting for alternative places. You must reposition RA and LA in a way so
that they are applied bellow the nipples, as shown in the picture below:

WARNING: when repositioning the electrodes, the ECG waveform and
amplitude may change.
WARNING: only the respiration numeric value is obtained by the CO
2
module. The waveform is not.
Capnography: the monitor can also show the respiratory frequency
calculated by the Capnography module. In order to this, set the function
in the Configuration Menu (Menu > RESP > RESP Freq).
