Checking to see if the person's tube is attached to the ventilator is the first and most important step in addressing an alarm on a mechanical ventilator. This ensures that the person is still receiving proper ventilation and oxygenation. Only after assessing this situation should you take further action, such as resetting the alarm or notifying the nurse.
