ABSTRACT:
A respiration monitor for measuring the respiration of a subject on a mechanical ventilator comprises first transducer means arranged to produce a first signal representative of a respiration status of the subject, second transducer means arranged to produce a second signal representative of a cyclical status of the mechanical ventilator, and processor means arranged to receive said first and second signals and to produce an output signal dependent upon the relative phase of said first and second signals. The invention extends to a method of monitoring, and also to a method of determining the rate at which a mechanical ventilator should be set in order to achieve 1:1 entrainment with spontaneous respiratory efforts.
