Absolute error (means ± SD) for each intracardiac lead at tidal volumes of 500 (in white) and 750 ml (in black), averaged across all animals, for unipolar leads (A), far-field bipolar leads (B), near-field bipolar leads (C), and for right ventricle and coronary sinus (RV-CS) intracatheter leads (D). No statistically significant difference was found between tidal volumes of 500 and 750 ml for any intracardiac lead, and no statistically significant difference was found between any 2 far-field bipolar, any 2 near-field bipolar, or any 2 RV-CS leads, respectively. A: unipolar absolute error ranges from 0.09 to 1.22 breaths/min, with mean of 0.26 breaths/min. B: far-field bipolar absolute error ranges from 0.13 to 1.13 breaths/min, with mean of 0.44 breaths/min. C: near-field bipolar absolute error ranges from 0.09 to 1.47 breaths/min, with mean of 0.66 breaths/min. D: RV-CS bipolar absolute error ranges from 0.11 to 0.87 breaths/min, with mean of 0.40 breaths/min. As shown by the small absolute errors in all intracardiac lead configurations, the algorithm closely tracks the true RR across a wide range of intracardiac leads when referenced to body surface ECG lead II. LV, left ventricle; EPI, epicardial space.
