Addressing vital sign alarm fatigue using personalized alarm thresholds.
Alarm fatigue, a condition in which clinical staff become desensitized to alarms due to the high frequency of unnecessary alarms, is a major patient safety concern. Alarm fatigue is particularly prevalent in the pediatric setting, due to the high level of variation in vital signs with patient age. Existing studies have shown that the current default pediatric vital sign alarm thresholds are ina...
متن کاملOptimising Classifiers for the Detection of Physiological Deterioration in Patient Vital-sign Data
Hospital patient outcomes can be improved by the early identification of physiological deterioration. Automatic methods of detecting patient deterioration in vital-sign data typically attempt to identify deviations from assumed “normal” physiological condition. This paper investigates the use of a multi-class approach, in which “abnormal” physiology is modelled explicitly. The success of such a...
متن کاملPulse oximetry as a fifth pediatric vital sign.
PURPOSE To determine the utility of pulse oximetry as a routine fifth vital sign in acute pediatric assessment. DESIGN Prospective study using pulse oximetry to measure oxygen saturation in children presenting to emergency department triage. Saturation values were disclosed to clinicians only after they had completed medical evaluations and were ready to discharge or admit each child. We meas...
متن کاملProbabilities of False Alarm for Vital Sign Detection on the Basis of a Doppler Radar System
Vital detection on the basis of Doppler radars has drawn a great deal of attention from researchers because of its high potential for applications in biomedicine, surveillance, and finding people alive under debris during natural hazards. In this research, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the remote vital-sign detection system is investigated. On the basis of different types of noise, such as...
متن کاملThe ‘fifth vital sign’
Pain is one of the most common symptoms, regardless of the specialty in which a patient is being treated. It should be routinely evaluated and recorded in daily clinical examination. In fact, pain has been promulgated as the ‘fifth vital sign’, in addition to the four traditional vital signs of temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. As well as improving patient comfort and sa...
