➡️ 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 Volume Alarm
A low volume alarm in mechanical ventilation is triggered whenever the expiratory volume falls below a preset low volume threshold. This is useful in ensuring that the patient is receiving and exhaling a minimum tidal volume. Similar to the low pressure alarm, this alarm will also sound whenever there is a leak or disconnection in the system. When this is the case, the Respiratory Therapist must ensure that the patient is being ventilated and provide manual breaths if necessary until the source of the issue is identified and corrected.
