Using the respiration measurement

Turning on the respiration measurement

Follow these steps if the respiration measurement is not displaying and you want
to turn it on.
1. Select the impedance respiration parameter window.
2. Select Setup > Page 1.
3. Select Resp Measurement > On.
When the respiration measurement is on, the message Imped. on is displayed in
the ECG1 waveform field.

Selecting the respiration lead

1. Select the impedance respiration parameter window.
2. Select Setup > Page 1.
3. Select lead I ( RA-LA ), II ( RA-LL ), or RL-LL from the Resp Lead selection list.

Selecting the respiration waveform size automatically

You can automatically size the current waveform to fit the available space.
1. Select the impedance respiration parameter window.
2. Select Setup > Page 2.
3. Select Autosize Waveform.

Selecting the respiration waveform size manually

1. Select the impedance respiration parameter window.
2. Select Setup > Page 2.
3. Select a value from the Size list.
The greater the value, the larger the waveform size.

Selecting the waveform sensitivity

Breath detection accuracy may be enhanced by increasing or decreasing the
waveform sensitivity.
1. Select the impedance respiration parameter window.
2. Select Setup > Page 1.
3. Select a value from the Sensitivity list.
The lower the value, the greater the sensitivity.

Enabling respiration smoothing

When respiration smoothing is enabled, 10 seconds of respiration rate values are
averaged.
1. Select the impedance respiration parameter window.
