A High Paw
alarm violation
terminates the
current breath
and cycles to
exhalation.
This alarm is
applicable for
all breaths,
including
manual
inflations.
Make sure exhalation
valve is functioning
correctly.
Evaluate ventilator settings
and readjust if necessary.
The alarm is recovered
when patient breathing
circuit pressure drops 5
cmH
2O/mbar below the
High Paw alarm limit.

When alarm is
ON, monitored
total breathing
frequency is
>/= set alarm
level. This
may indicate
a change
in patient
condition or
autotriggering.
Check patient for change
in status or need for
increased ventilatory
support.
If due to autotrigger, check
breathing circuit for leaks.
If due to autotrigger, turn
Leak Compensation ON (if
it has been turned to OFF).
If due to airway/mask
leak, turn ON Noninvasive
Ventilation..
Evaluate trigger setting/
method (Flow vs. Pressure).

settings would
result in an

ratio greater
than 4:1, so
ventilation is
