The nurse will assess for inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation while responding to a low-pressure limit mechanical ventilator alarm.
- An alarm for excessive airway pressure indicates an issue with compliance or resistance.
- To stop the alarm and make sure the patient receives the predetermined number of breaths from the ventilator, turn up the upper limit on the alarm parameter first.
An audible and/or visual alert will trigger if the pressure inside the breathing circuit falls below the Low Airway Pressure Alarm limit specified on the ventilator. Low pressure alerts can be caused by, among other things:
- The patient's connection to the ventilator circuit breaks.
- inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation
- nasal cushions, prongs, or invasive non-masks that don't fit well
- Circuit and tube connections that are loose
- The ventilator cannot supply the patient with as much air as they need.

Feedback loop
- feedback means telling whether it was good or bad or in this case, works or not.
Answer:
Hormones that act on the target cells to increase metabolism are Triiodothyronine (T₃) and Thyroxine (T₄).
Explanation:
The hormones triiodothyronine (T₃) and thyroxine (T₄) are the active forms of thyroid hormone, responsible for increasing cell metabolism.
Both T₃ and T₄are produced by the thyroid gland, in response to the pituitary hormone TSH. T₄ is more abundant but less powerful than T₃
Thyroid hormones are responsible for controlling cell metabolism, since their increase determines an increase in metabolism, and their deficiency slows it down.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em><u>Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH)</u></em><em> is produced by the hypothalamus to activate the production of TSH in the pituitary gland.</em>
- <em><u>Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)</u></em><em> is a pituitary hormone in charge of activating the production of T₃ and T₄ in the thyroid.</em>
- <em><u>Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)</u></em><em> is produced by the pituitary gland to stimulate the production of hormones in the adrenal cortex.</em>
