➡️ 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.

➡️ High PEEP Alarm
A high PEEP alarm in mechanical ventilation is triggered whenever the level of PEEP exceeds a preset high PEEP limit. This is useful in ensuring that too much PEEP isn’t delivered to the patient. This alarm most commonly occurs whenever auto-PEEP or air trapping is present.

➡️ Auto-PEEP
Auto-PEEP is a complication that occurs when a positive pressure remains in the alveoli at the end-exhalation phase of the breathing cycle. This increases the work of breathing for the patient, however, it can be corrected by prolonging the patient's expiratory time. Again, for this video, we just wanted to provide you with a brief overview of this topic.
