Respiration Rate (RR)
The Radical-7 can determine respiration rate (RR) either by the acoustic
signal (RRa) or by the plethysmographic waveform (RRp).
RRp Settings
When using a pulse oximetry or pulse CO-Oximetry sensor with the
Radical-7, respiration rate can be determined by the plethysmographic
waveform (RRp). This method measures a patient's respiratory rate based
on plethysmographic amplitude changes that correspond to the
respiratory cycle. When using a pulse oximetry or pulse CO-Oximetry
sensor, RRp alarms and RRp settings are active and the
