Alarms in the intensive care unit: how can the number of false alarms be reduced?

Published by National Institutes of Health | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Metadata Last Checked: September 06, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-06

The current approaches used to improve the situation are then presented from two main standpoints: organizational and behavioural on the one hand, and technical on the other.
