Changing the Resp Settings Monitoring Respiration (Resp) (Optional)
8 - 4 TMS60 Operator’s Manual
8.4 Changing the Resp Settings
You can change the Resp settings from the Resp menu.
8.4.1 Configuring the Resp Setup
Enter the Resp menu in either of the following ways:
■
On the main screen, tap the Resp digital area or waveform area to enter the Resp
menu.
■
In the main menu, tap Parameter Setup
→
Resp to enter the Resp menu.
1. In the Setup section of the Resp menu, select the options described in the follow-
ing table.
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 applica-
tion 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.
