Impedance respiration settings
Pressing anywhere on the Respiration area brings up the Respiration Settings Menu.
Note
If capnography is in use, the waveform shown will be labelled “CAPNO” and will display the
end tidal CO
2
. In this state pressing on the waveform will bring up the Capnometer Settings
Menu.
Menu option Menu screen
Respiration limits (rpm) – set the upper and
lower alarm limits for respiration.
Respiration wave speed (mm/s) – set wave
speed to 3.1, 6.25 or 12.5. This setting is
independent of other waveforms.
Respiration lead – select which ECG lead
will measure respiration rate.
Respiration wave gain – use the up and
down arrows to adjust wave height (gain).
Respiration monitoring – turn impedance
respiration off or on. Use this, for example,
where patient movement is too great to allow
stable impedance measurements to be taken.
