How do you describe respiratory rate pattern?

A patient's respiratory pattern refers to the rate, depth, and rhythm at which they are breathing. In a healthy patient at rest, the respiratory rate should be 12-20 breaths per minute, with passive exhalation and a normal rhythm. Again, this is known as eupnea (i.e., normal breathing).

Can you tell respiratory rate from ECG?

The respiratory rate (RR) is a vital physiological parameter in prediagnosis and daily monitoring. It can be obtained indirectly from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals using ECG-derived respiration (EDR) techniques.

How is respiration measured by ECG?

Respiratory Rate is measured through the white and red limb leads of the ECG module. You can discontinue respiratory monitoring from the ECG/Resp module if the patient has another method of detection (ventilator or ETCO2).
