6.2.3 Placing Respiration Electrodes
Before placing, you need to treat an animal‘s skin where the electrodes are to be placed, as referred to in skin
treating method in the ECG section. The electrodes are connected by referring to above methods mentioned in
ECG connection.
Attention

It is required to readjust the position of the two respiration-measuring electrodes in the process of
measuring respiration, but this may affect ST and arrhythmia analysis.

The hepatic region and ventricle are on the line of the resp electrodes so as to reduce the effect of
cardio motility upon respiration waveforms; this is highly important with < 10 kg.

For abdominally breathing animals, the electrode on the animal
‟s left leg should be placed where
the left abdomen has the largest expansion to obtain optimal respiration waveforms.

In case a negative thoracic pressure is generated for some animals (
<
10 kg in particular) when their
thoraxes are expanding laterally, it is better to place the two respiration electrodes in the region
between the right midaxillary line and left thorax where respiratory movement is more evident than
other regions, so as to obtain optimal respiratory waves.
6.2.4 Resp Setup
Select [Main Menu]-[Parameters]-[Resp Setup] or enter [Resp Setup] from Resp waveform region or parameter
region.


Apnea Delay Setup
Select [Apnea Delay]: 10s, 15s, 20s, 25s, 30s, 35s and 40s. Its default is 10s.When apnea delay is set, the
monitor will alarm in case the apnea period exceeds the preset values.

Gain Setup
Select [Gain]:

4 and Auto. It allows setup of waveform gain positions to meet
different clinical requirements.

Sweep Setup
Select [Sweep]: 6.25 mm/s, 12.5 mm/s, and 25.0 mm/s. It allows selecting desired waveform speeds. A larger
speed means faster scanning and wider waveforms.
