Chapter 6 Ventilator Alarms
109
This chapter describes the ventilator alarms and what you should do
if an alarm occurs.
There are three types of alarms:
High Priority – Require immediate response by the
•
operator
Medium Priority – Require prompt response by the
•
operator
Low Priority – Require operator awareness. These alarms
•
alert you to a change in the ventilator status.
Additionally, the ventilator also displays informational messages and
confirmation alerts that notify you of conditions that need attention
but do not qualify as alarm conditions.
Note: If multiple alarms occur
at the same time, all alarms are
processed and displayed, but
the alarms are ordered first by
priority and then by occurrence,
with the newest, highest priority
alarms at the top of the list.
The alarm precedence is in the
following order: high priority,
medium priority, low priority,
and informational messages.
Note: Not all alarms are
available in every therapy
mode; some alarms are mode-
dependent.
