dc.description.abstractAlarm systems are essential for monitoring critically ill patients in ICUs, but a high proportion of false or non-actionable alarms—reported to range from 80% to 99%—has led to widespread alarm fatigue among healthcare workers. This desensitization can result in delayed or missed responses to critical alarms, thereby posing serious risks to patient safety. Understanding alarm fatigue is vital for improving patient safety and care quality in ICUs, and this study aims to identify strategies for better alarm management.
