Patient Preparation
Selecting and Preparing the Electrodes
Proper selection and preparation of the ECG electrodes is impor-
tant for effective respiration monitoring. See the chapter ECG
and Heart Rate for information on preparing and placing elec-
trodes.
Preparing the Patient’s Skin
Follow the recommended instructions given in the chapter ECG
and Heart Rate.
Electrode Placement for Respiration Monitoring
For respiration monitoring, the signal is passed by the same elec-
trodes used for cardiac monitoring, as illustrated below. The mon-
itor uses the right arm (RA) electrode and the left leg (LL)
electrode as the path for the high-frequency signal.
For deep abdominal breathers, you may want to move the right
arm (RA) electrode, in order to span the maximum expansion and
contraction of the lungs.
