Resetting the Tidal Volume Alarm in Settings

Introduzione

There may be alarms going off indicating the patient has a low exhale volume (tidal volume). If the alarm is going off and the patient looks safe, then the parameters need to be reset for this patient. This will make sure you are notified when the patient is in danger based on the color of the warning. A red warning indicates urgent action on the patient, yellow-blinking indicates the patient needs to be checked up on with medium priority, and steady yellow informs the clinician with low-priority. After noticing a patient is safe, this will allow you to change the parameter for exhaled tidal volume.
