Masimo RRa Acoustic Respiration Rate Parameter

Respiration rate is a critical vital sign that provides early detection of respiratory compromise and patient distress

> Continuous monitoring of respiration rate is especially important for post-surgical patients receiving patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) for pain management as the sedation can induce respiratory depression and place patients at considerable risk of serious injury or death.^1-4

> Although the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) guidelines include oxygenation and ventilation monitoring in all patients receiving opioids,⁵ current methods for respiration rate monitoring can be limited by reliability or patient tolerance.⁶
