Respiration Monitoring

4.4. Pediatric Considerations

Cardiogenic artifact (heart rate pulsations that appear as "breaths" in the
respiration signal) can be quite pronounced in pediatric patients. This can cause
the respiration rate to be artificially high (approaching the heart rate). To reduce
cardiogenic artifact, move the White RA electrode (AHA lead designation) or the
Red R electrode (IEC lead designation) from the right clavicle down to the right
th
mid-clavical line, 4 intercostal space.
