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.

The concentration expressed in parts per million is 782 ppm.
<h3>What is Parts per million?</h3>
It is calculated by dividing the mass of the solution by the mass of a solute present in one million (10⁶) parts.
<h3>Calculation for units in ppm:</h3>
Given:
Mass of blood alcohol = 80 mg/dL = 80 x 
g/mL
Density of blood plasma or Mass of blood plasma = 1.023 g/mL
Concentration in ppm = (Mass of alcohol/Mass of plasma) x 
= (80 x g/mL/ 1.023 g/mL) x
= 782 ppm
Hence, the concentration expressed in parts per million is 782 ppm.
