Adjusting the Respiration Rate

Respiration rate is measured by the number of times per minute the lungs inflate

(inspiration) and deflate (expiration), expressed as breaths-per-minute (BrPM). Pediatric

respiration rates are two or three times higher than adult rates. Newborn babies, for

example, breathe from forty to fifty times per minute, while adults typically breathe

approximately fifteen times per minute.

The MPS450 simulates nine preconfigured respiration rates (BrPM): 15, 20, 30, 40, 60,

80, 100, and 120, plus a respiration-off condition.

Action in the Menu-Control Mode

1. Press the top-menu key labeled RESP. If the respiration-rate setting has not been

changed, the screen displays the default setting (20 BRPM):
