➡️ What is a Ventilator Alarm?
A ventilator alarm is a safety mechanism on the mechanical ventilator that uses a set of parameters to provide alerts whenever there is a potential problem related to the patient-ventilator interaction. The alarms can be visual, audible, or both, depending on the ventilator setting and the patient’s condition. In order to learn each of the different ventilator alarms, you must develop an understanding of the different ventilator modes and settings, which is something we've talked a lot about in other videos here on our channel.

➡️ Low Pressure Alarm Definition
A low pressure alarm in mechanical ventilation is triggered whenever the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) falls below a preset designated level. This most commonly occurs whenever there is a leak or disconnection in the system. The preset low pressure level for this alarm is typically set around 5-10 cmH2O below the PIP. If this alarm is triggered, the Respiratory Therapist must first ensure that the patient is being ventilated. If the cause of the alarm is unknown, the patient should be manually ventilated until the source of the leak is identified.
