tidal volume. Check for leaks in the patient circuit.
Check for leaks in the breathing system.
TVexp high Medium TVexp is greater than TVexp high
alarm limit (for nine breaths). Set the alarm limits appropriately.
Check ventilation settings.
TVexp low Medium TVexp is less than TVexp low alarm
limit (for nine breaths). Set the alarm limits appropriately.
