10.4 Placing Resp Electrodes
As the skin is a poor conductor of electricity, preparing the skin is necessary for a good Respiration signal. You can refer
to the ECG section for how to prepare the skin.
As the Respiration measurement adopts the standard ECG electrode placement, you can use different ECG cables (3-lead
or 5-lead). Since the respiration signal is measured between two ECG electrodes, if a standard ECG electrode placement
is applied, the two electrodes should be RA and LA of ECG Lead I, or RA and LL of ECG Lead II.
NOTE
z
To optimize the respiration waveform, place the RA and LA electrodes horizontally when monitoring
respiration with ECG Lead I; place the RA and LL electrodes diagonally when monitoring respiration with
ECG Lead II.
