Alarm Management Interventions

Continuous training on clinical alarm management is emphasized as medical equipment use increases. Training should target the devices most responsible for alarm load and deactivation. Alarm parameters should be adjusted according to each patient’s clinical condition rather than fixed thresholds alone. Maintenance and calibration policies are described as essential in under-resourced hospitals because poor calibration and equipment shortages can increase false alarms. Appropriate threshold customisation can reduce nuisance alarms for stable patients.
