Yoğun bakım ünitelerinde hasta izlemi, tedavi ve ilaç yönetimi için alarm sistemleri ile çalışan çok sayıda cihaz kullanılmaktadır. Alarm sistemleri, hastanın klinik durumuyla ya da cihazla ilgili önceden belirlenmiş “normal” durumlardan sapmalara karar vererek hemşire ve hekimi uyarmaktadır. Yoğun bakımlarda kullanılan her bir cihazın farklı alarm sistemleri ile çalışması, alarm sayısını ve çeşitliliğini artırmaktadır. Hemşireler her biri farklı alarm limitine, kategorisine ve uyarım tipine sahip cihazları yönetmek ve alarmlara müdahale etmek zorundadır. Bu makalede yoğun bakım hemşireliğinde önemli bir sorun olan alarm yorgunluğu tartışılmıştır. 

Anahtar Kelimeler
