How do you calculate the rate of respiration?
It's best to take your respiratory rate while sitting up in a chair or in bed. Measure your breathing rate by counting the number of times your chest or abdomen rises over the course of one minute. Record this number.
How do you calculate respiratory rate on ECG?
One gets respiratory rate by measuring the number of ECG samples in R-R interval and its advantage lies in its simplicity. The other detects the rate by measuring the size of R wave in QRS signal.
How do you calculate respiratory rate for EMT?
To determine respiratory rate, the EMT counts the rise and fall of the patient's chest for thirty seconds and then multiplies by two. (Remember that the patient may become self-conscious and alter his breathing rate if he knows you are watching.)
