BeneVision TM80 Telemetry Monitor Operator’s Manual 8 - 3
CAUTION
•
Correct electrodes placement can help to reduce cardiac overlay: avoid the liver
area and the ventricles of the heart in the line between the respiratory
electrodes. This is particularly important for neonates.
•
Some patients with restricted movements breathe mainly abdominally. In these
cases, you may need to place the left leg electrode on the left abdomen at the
point of maximum abdominal expansion to optimize the respiratory wave.
•
In clinical applications, some patients expand their chests laterally, causing a
negative intrathoracic pressure. In these cases, it is better to place the two
respiration electrodes in the right midaxillary and the left lateral chest areas at
the patient’s maximum point of the breathing movement to optimize the
respiratory waveform.
•
Periodically inspect the electrode application site to ensure skin quality. If the
skin quality changes, replace the electrodes or change the application site.
NOTE
•
Store the electrodes at room temperature. Open the electrode package
immediately prior to use.
•
Check that the electrode packages are intact and not expired. Make sure the
electrode gel is moist.
8.4 Changing Resp Settings
You can change Resp settings from the Resp menu.
8.4.1 Enabling/Disabling the Resp Functionality
You can configure whether to display the Resp digital data and waveform on the main
screen.
To do so, follow this procedure:
1. In the main menu, tap Parameter Setup .
2. In the Commands section, enable or disable Resp .
When Resp is enabled, the Resp digital data and waveform are displayed on the main
screen. Besides, the Resp option is displayed in the list of parameters in the Setup
section of the Parameter Setup menu.
8.4.2 Entering the Resp Menu
When the Resp functionality is enabled, you can enter the Resp menu in either of the
following ways:
■
On the main screen, tap the Resp digital area or waveform area.
