Alarms
The following alarms will break through when activated at high priority alarm
condition regardless of the 2 to 5 minute audible alarm pause:
Asystole
,
V Fib/V Tach
,
V Tach
, and
Brady
(in the NICU software package only).
WARNING
If
Alarm Setup
>
Audible & Visual
>
Pause All Audio for 5 min
or the 2 minute audio pause is selected before an alarm is
triggered, only the alarms for hypoxic gas mixture (
FiO2 low
,
EtO2 low
,
FiN2O high
), and the alarm for dangerously high
airway pressure (
Ppeak high
: measured Ppeak exceeds the
set high alarm limit by 10 cmH
2
O) will break through. The
pause audio behavior is configured in the
Care Unit Settings
and the setting is password protected.
Latched alarms
When alarms are latched, the audible alarm and visual message remains after the
alarm condition no longer exists. The audible alarm can be paused with the pause
audio key, and this also clears the alarm message from the screen. Alarms can be
configured to latch for high priority alarms only, all alarm priorities, or none. The
Latching Alarms
setting is configured in the
Care Unit Settings
and it is password
protected.
For more information, see the CARESCAPE Modular Monitors Supplemental
Information Manual.
Setting parameter alarm limits
Parameter alarm limits may be set in the
Alarms Setup
menu, or in the parameter
menus’ own
Alarms
tab. Alarm limits should not be set beyond reasonable
physiological boundaries in order to maintain patient safety. Setting outside of
reasonable boundaries would cause the alarms to be ineffective.
1.
Select
Alarm Setup
from the monitor’s main menu.
2.
Select the
Alarm Limits
tab.
3.
Select a parameter label.
If you are unable to find a specific parameter, select the right arrow to display
additional labels. If the parameter limit has been turned off, the alarm limit will
be greyed out.
Selecting a parameter label takes you to that parameter menu’s
Alarms
tab
where you can select alarms on or off, and set their limits.
Alarm locks
Alarm locks prevent parameter alarm limits from being turned off. When an alarm is
locked, a lock icon appears next to the
Alarm On
/
Alarm Off
setting. Parameter alarm
locks are set in the
Care Unit Settings
and they are password protected.
For more information, see the CARESCAPE Modular Monitors Supplemental
Information Manual.
Alarm guard limits
Alarm guard limits prevent parameter alarm limits from being adjusted above (high)
or below (low) these values. When an alarm has a guard limit, there is a gray guard
