Enabling/Disabling Resp Monitoring
Select the Resp Monitoring prompt to enable or disable Resp monitoring. When Resp
Monitoring is set to On (the default), the Propaq M unit displays the Respiration Rate meter.
When set to off, Propaq M removes the Respiration Rate meter from the display.
Warning! When using impedance pneumography, the Propaq M unit automatically rejects
cardiovascular artifact (CVA). This function requires the accurate ECG R-wave
detection. Therefore, always select the ECG lead with the most prominent QRS complex
when using impedance pneumography to monitor respiration.
Heart Rate Meter
The Heart Rate meter displays the heart rate that it derives from the ECG monitoring function
(by default) or from a monitoring function that you specify. If the ECG (or user-specified
monitor function) measurements are not available, the Heart Rate meter derives the heart rate
from the following monitoring functions, if they are available, in this order: User-selected
default source, ECG, IBP channel 1, SpO
2
, IBP channel 2, IBP channel 3, and NIBP. The Heart
Rate meter is labeled HR (as in the following example) if the source is ECG, and PR if any other
source is used.
Configuring Heart Rate (HR) Meter Alarms
The Propaq M unit allows you to enable and disable the Heart Rate (HR) alarm, to set alarm
limits, and to select a Heart Rate tone.
