To calculate the gain speed on an EKG, you typically assess the amplitude of the QRS complex or other waves by measuring the vertical height (in millimeters) of the waveform on the graph paper. Each small box on standard EKG paper represents 0.1 mV vertically, so if a QRS complex measures 10 mm in height, it corresponds to 1 mV. The gain speed can be adjusted on the EKG machine, often set at 10 mm/mV, but if the gain is altered, you must account for this when interpreting wave amplitudes. Always refer to the specific settings on the EKG machine for accurate calculations.

What is normal running speed on the EKG paper?

The normal running speed on EKG paper is typically 25 mm per second. This means that each small square on the EKG paper represents 0.04 seconds, while each large square (composed of five small squares) represents 0.20 seconds. This standard speed allows for accurate measurement of heart rhythms and intervals. Adjustments to the speed may be made in specific clinical situations, but 25 mm/sec is the most common setting.

No there is not a direct connection. Typicly as heart rate increases it is in response to increased cardiac demand and respiratory rate increases accordingly.
