Respiration Monitoring

Description
Intended patient types: Adult, Pediatric, Neonate.
Respirations, or the amount of breaths per minute, are measured by two methods in the
Passport V
:
The first method is thoracic impedance through the ECG signal. The respiration signal is
measured between two ECG electrodes:
• RA and LA of ECG Lead I, or
• RA and LL of ECG Lead II
The second is by CO
2
exchange via internal CO
2
or via the external Gas Module. Section
5.3.1 discusses the monitoring of CO
2
with thoracic impedance. Chapter 10.0 discusses the
monitoring of CO
2
with Sidestream and Microstream capnography.
