Respiration
Respiration alarms can be set independently for the adult and infant mode. In the
adult mode, respiratory rate alarms can be set as determined following initiation of
respiratory monitoring. If you select the learned option, the high rate alarm limit is
set at 1.5 times the learned rate. The low rate alarm limit is set to 0. The high limit
is never automatically set above 150 breaths per minute (BPM) or lower than
30 BPM in the learned model.
!
• Respiratory rate and apnea alarms cannot be disabled in the
infant mode.
