Monitoring ECG/Resp
7-22
„ In auto detection mode, the patient monitor adjusts the detection level automatically,
depending on the wave height and the presence of cardiac artifact. Note that in auto
detection mode, the detection level (a dotted line) is not displayed on the waveform.
Use auto detection mode for situations where:
‹ The respiration rate is not close to the heart rate.
‹
Breathing is spontaneous, with or without continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP).
‹ Patients are ventilated, except patients with intermittent mandatory ventilation
(IMV).
„ In manual detection mode, you adjust the dotted detection level line to the desired level
by selecting [
Upper Line
] or [
Lower Line
] and then selecting or beside them.
Once set, the detection level will not adapt automatically to different respiration depths.
It is important to remember that if the depth of breathing changes, you may need to
change the detection level.
Use manual detection mode for situations where:
‹
The respiration rate and the heart rate are close.
‹
Patients have intermittent mandatory ventilation.
‹ Respiration is weak. Try repositioning the electrodes to improve the signal.
7.9.6 Changing Resp Wave Settings
WARNING
z
When monitoring in manual detection mode, make sure to check the respiration
detection level after you have increased or decreased the size of the respiration
wave.
In the [
Resp Waveform
] menu, you can:
„ Select [
Gain
] and then select an appropriate setting. The bigger the gain is, the larger the
wave amplitude is.
„ Select [
Sweep
] and then select an appropriate setting. The faster the wave sweeps, the
wider the wave is.
