Respiration Menu Options

Lead

Relearn Respiration

Revision C
You have two choices for the respiration lead—lead I and lead II. This
menu option, when selected, automatically switches the monitored lead for
respiration. The label of the lead currently being monitored (I or II)
appears in the menu option, in the lower left corner of the RR parameter
window, and with the waveform label.
Changing leads automatically starts the relearn process.
NOTE: If you are monitoring with a fixed-lead 3-lead cable, respiration
can only be obtained from the lead for which the cable is
manufactured. For example, if your cable is a fixed lead II cable,
you will see a "LD I FAIL" message in the RR parameter window
should you try to change the respiration lead.
A "learning" process always takes place for a few seconds whenever
respiration monitoring is started. If your patient's breathing pattern changes
after the initial learning process has taken place, it may be necessary to
relearn.
Select RELEARN RESP option from the respiration menu. This is a direct
action menu option.
The message "LEARNING" will be displayed in the RR values window. (There
is no respiration rate displayed during the learning process.) When learning is
complete, the message will clear and the respiration rate will be displayed.
NOTE: Sensitivity is reset at 40% and the waveform is automatically
sized.
