| Conditions that may trigger the low pressure alarm include all of the following except: loss of circuit or system pressure (common) premature termination of inspiratory phase obstruction of ventilator circuit inappropriate ventilator setttings | obstruction of ventilator circuit |
| The high pressure alarm is triggered when the circuit pressure reaches or exceeds the preset (high,low) pressure limit | -high |
| Conditions that may trigger the high pressure alarm include all of the following factors except: disconnection of ventilator circuit increase of airflow resistance decrease of lung compliance decrease of chest wall compliance | disconnection of ventilator circuit |

| A patient's low pressure alarm is triggered persistently. The likely cause of this condition include all the following except: disconnection of ventilator circuit kinking of endotracheal tube power failure leakage of endotracheal tube cuff | kinking of endotracheal tube |
| During patient rounds in the ICU, the high pressure alarm of the ventilator is triggered. This condition is likely caused by: disconnection of ventilator of circuit low pressure limit set too high loose ventilator humidifier fitting patient coughing | patient coughing |
| The high respiratory frequency alarm is triggered when the total frequency exceeds the high frequency limit set on the ventilator except for: respiratory distress excessive sensitivity setting high frequency alarm set too low circuit disconnect | circuit disconnect (loss of circuit pressure in low pressure/low volume alarm) |

| The high PEEP alarm is triggered when the actual PEEP level (exceeds,drops below) the preset PEEP limit | exceeds |
| Presence of excessive auto-PEEP may triggered the high PEEP alarm. All the following conditions may lead to the development of auto-PEEP except: air trapping inadequate inspiratory time insufficient inspiratory flow insufficient expiratory time | inadequate inspiratory time |
