5. Respiration Monitoring
Follow the preparation of “4.ECG Monitoring” to allow the respiration
monitoring.
This respiration monitoring is performed with impedance method.
The ECG electrodes are also used for detecting the respiration. Each lead
cable specifies the electrodes to detect the respiration. For 3-electrode and 5-
electrode (chest) lead cable, the electrodes to detect the respiration are fixed
as follows. Even if lead method is switched, they are no changes.
Lead Cable Color of Electrode
3-electrode White (RA) and Red (LL)
4-electrode White (RA) and Red (LL)
5-electrode (Chest) White (RA) and Red (LL)
WARNING
Minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemakers can occasionally
interact with certain cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment, causing
the pacemakers to pace at their maximum programmed rate. The cardiac
monitoring and diagnostic equipment may possibly send wrong
information.
If such event occurs, please disconnect the cardiac monitoring and
diagnostic equipment, or follow the procedures described in the operation
manual of the pacemaker.
(For more details, contact FUKUDA DENSHI personnel, your institution’s
professionals, or your pacemaker distributors.)
Reference
“Minute Ventilation Rate-Adaptive Pacemakers”
FDA alerts health professionals that minute ventilation rate-adaptive
implantable pacemakers can occasionally interact with certain cardiac
monitoring and diagnostic equipment, causing pacemakers to pace at their
maximum programmed rate.

CAUTION
 Even if the electrodes are attached on the proper positions for ECG
monitoring, it may not be always the proper ones for respiration
monitoring as well.
 When a defibrillator is used during respiration monitoring, a large offset
voltage will be placed on the ECG electrodes, which may cause
interruption of monitoring for a few seconds.
