➡️ 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.
➡️ Apnea Alarm Definition
An apnea alarm in mechanical ventilation is triggered whenever the total frequency drops below a preset low-frequency limit. This is useful in ensuring that a minimum number of breaths are delivered to the patient. Also, most ventilators come with a preset apnea period that is typically around 20 seconds although some allow the operator to adjust this time limit. The activation of an apnea alarm most commonly occurs whenever there is a disconnection of the circuit from the ET tube. When this occurs, the Respiratory Therapist must ensure that the patient is being ventilated by delivering manual breaths until the source of the disconnection is identified.
