Basic Respiration

The Basic Respiration Rate category supports the measurement of the user’s respiration rate.

Feature: Respiration Rate Measurement

The system SHALL be able to capture and report a respiration rate measurement from the user.

Scenario: Capture And Report Respiration Rate Measurement

GIVEN

a <System> (App or Infrastructure) that can work with a <Device>

AND

a <User> of that <System>

AND

the <Respiration Rate> of that <User>

WHEN

the <System> is operational

THEN

the device can capture a <Measurement> in the <System> associated with <User> that contains that user’s <Respiration Rate>

AND

that <Measurement> has units that are breaths / minute

AND

the precision of that <Measurement> is to the unit of at least whole breaths.

Scenario: LOINC Coded Respiration Rate Measurement

The system should provide codes along with measurements.

GIVEN

a <Measurement> of respiration rate

WHEN

the <Measurement> is retrieved

THEN

that <Measurement> is associated with a <LOINC Code> for Respiration Rate

AND

that <LOINC Code> is 9279-1 Respiratory Rate

Scenario: LOINC Coded Respiration Rate Measurement

The system should provide LOINC codes along with measurements.

GIVEN

a <Measurement> of respiration rate

WHEN

the <Measurement> is retrieved

THEN

that <Measurement> is associated with a <LOINC Code> for Respiration Rate

AND

that <LOINC Code> is 8480-6 9279-1 Respiratory Rate

Scenario: UCUM Coded Respiration Rate Units

The measurement should use units coded in UCUM.

GIVEN

a <Measurement> of respiration rate

WHEN

the <Measurement> is retrieved

THEN

that <Measurement> is associated with a <UCUM Unit Code>,

AND

that <UCUM Unit Code> is ‘/min’ (per minute)

AND

that <UCUM Unit Code> may include a UCUM comment (e.g. ‘{beat}/min’ or ‘{beats}/min’)
