INTENDED USE AND INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW OF RESPIRATION RATE MONITORING
Respiration (Resp) monitoring works by measuring the impedance between the LL and RA
electrodes (or the R and F electrodes for IEC lead designations). The impedance changes as the
patient's chest expands and contracts during the breath cycle. To measure the changes in
impedance, the

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 mid-clavical line, 4
