Respiration Monitoring
Respiration is monitored by measuring changes in impedance between the RA and
LL ECG electrodes.  This transmitter sends the changes in impedance to the
monitor as a respiration waveform.  The monitor displays the respiration
waveform and calculates respiration rate.  Refer to the operator’s manual of the
monitor for details.
WARNING
Interaction Between Minute Ventilation Rate-Adaptive Pacemakers
and Cardiac Monitoring and Diagnostic Equipment*
The bioelectric impedance measurement sensor of a minute
ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemaker may be affected by
the transmitter which is connected to the same patient.  If this
occurs, the pacemaker may pace at its maximum rate and the
transmitter may give incorrect data to the monitor.  If this occurs,
disconnect the electrode leads from the patient or change the
setting on the pacemaker by referring to the pacemaker’s manual.
For more details, contact your pacemaker distributor or Nihon
Kohden representative.
* Minute ventilation is sensed in rate-adaptive pacemakers by a technology
known as bioelectric impedance measurement (BIM).  Many medical devices in
addition to pacemakers use this technology.  When one of these devices is used
on a patient with an active, minute ventilation rate-adaptive pacemaker, the
pacemaker may erroneously interpret the mixture of BIM signals created in the
patient, resulting in an elevated pacing rate.
