11.9 Measuring RESP
11.9.1 How to measure RESP?
The monitor measures respiration from the amount of thoracic impedance between two ECG electrodes. The change of
impedance between the two electrodes, (due to the thoracic movement), produces a respiratory waveform on the
screen.
11.9.2 Setting Up RESP measurement
For RESP monitoring, it is not necessary for additional electrodes, however, the placing of electrodes is important.
