“…At the same time, frequent alarms will cause healthcare personnel not to intervene or delay processing the alarm prompts, and sometimes they may completely ignore or reset the alarm information. This phenomenon is called “alarm fatigue” [ 14 , 15 ]. Alarm fatigue may cause adverse events and serious threats to the lives of patients and eliminate the waste of nursing resources caused by a large number of false alarms [ 16 ].…”

After rapid development and reform, the health level and medical diagnosis and treatment capabilities of Chinese residents have been significantly improved, and high-quality medical resources have significantly improved the life safety and health of the masses. As the most concentrated area of medical equipment in the hospital, the intensive care unit produces the most alarms during the operation of the equipment. The intensive care unit nurses are responsible for heavier nursing work, and the problem of alarming in other departments is more prominent. Therefore, this paper presents an analysis and research on the current situation and influencing factors of the alarm fatigue of nurse medical equipment in the intensive care unit based on intelligent medicine. This article uses a variety of related methods such as literature data method and questionnaire survey method to deeply study the theoretical knowledge of intelligent medical treatment, medical equipment alarm fatigue device, and so on. The logistic regression analysis method is introduced to classify its influencing factors, and the analysis experiment on the influencing factors of the medical equipment alarm fatigue of nurses in the intensive care unit is designed. The nurses’ cognition of clinical alarms and the analysis of clinical alarm fatigue questionnaire data are studied. The alarm fatigue of nurses in the intensive care unit is at a severe level, which needs to be taken seriously in the intensive care unit. Unmarried, high-level positions, long working years, high professional titles, and high education are negatively correlated with alarm fatigue ( P < 0.05 ), and those without an alarm habit are positively correlated with alarm fatigue ( P < 0.05 ), and the number of night shifts per month is related to alarm fatigue. There is no correlation between them ( P > 0.05 ).

“…Clinical alarms play a vital role in notifying critical care nurses of potential threats or urgent situations involving critically ill pediatric patients. Managing and setting alarms in the NICU and PICU are key responsibilities of pediatric critical care nurses (Sliman, et al,2020). As a result, our study aims to assess the impact of implementing an educational intervention for pediatric critical care nurses to effectively manage alarm fatigue and improve patient care.…”

Background: Educating nurses on alarm management & alarm fatigue can help in maintaining their knowledge and abilities in complex clinical settings as well as improving the pediatric patient safety. So, the current study was conducted to evaluate the effect of implementing an educational intervention for pediatric critical care nurses on managing alarm fatigue and improving clinical alarm management practices. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was utilized during the current study, and it was conducted on 70 pediatric nurses who are concerned in providing direct care in the intensive care units at Mansoura University Children Hospital. Results: Since the majority of the nurses under investigation were competent post-intervention compared to being incompetent pre-intervention, the educational intervention showed a highly statistical improvement in the total practice levels among the nurses throughout the research period. Additionally, nurses noted a significant improvement in alarm fatigue symptoms post-intervention compared to pre-intervention, with a highly statistically significant difference. Conclusion & Recommendations: The educational intervention seems to improve nurses' knowledge and practice regarding alarm system monitoring and management and help in minimizing alarm fatigue symptoms. Therefore, the researchers recommended implementing comprehensive educational interventions and provide resources for continued learning and address staffing and workload issues. As well, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and promote a culture of safety and accountability for nursing staff.
