Patient characteristics associated with false arrhythmia alarms in intensive care
INTRODUCTION A high rate of false arrhythmia alarms in the intensive care unit (ICU) leads to alarm fatigue, the condition of desensitization and potentially inappropriate silencing of alarms due to frequent invalid and nonactionable alarms, often referred to as false alarms. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify patient characteristics, such as gender, age, body mass index, and dia...
متن کاملReducing False Arrhythmia Alarms in the Intensive Care Unit
Due to entrenched methodology and a tendency towards deep focus in domain-specific knowledge, health care operations is a field with open problems, yet relatively little previous work in applying modern machine learning methods. In particular, alarm fatigue in hospital intensive care units is a major issue that could greatly benefit from the application of even relatively simple and standard le...
متن کاملAlarms in the intensive care unit: how can the number of false alarms be reduced?
Many alarms, as they now exist in most monitoring systems, are not usually perceived as helpful by the medical staff because of the high incidence of false alarms. This paper gives an overview of the problems related to their current design and the objectives of monitoring. The current approaches used to improve the situation are then presented from two main standpoints: organizational and beha...
متن کاملFalse Alarms About False Memories
M. B. Miller and G. L. Wolford (1999) make two contributions. First, they add conditions to the basic Roediger-McDermott (1995) procedure and find that critical items are recalled and recognized more often if they are presented in the list than if they are not presented. These results agree with our own, which are briefly reviewed. Second, they apply signal detection theory to the paradigm and ...
متن کاملReducing False Alarms of Intensive Care Online-Monitoring Systems: An Evaluation of Two Signal Extraction Algorithms
Online-monitoring systems in intensive care are affected by a high rate of false threshold alarms. These are caused by irrelevant noise and outliers in the measured time series data. The high false alarm rates can be lowered by separating relevant signals from noise and outliers online, in such a way that signal estimations, instead of raw measurements, are compared to the alarm limits. This pa...
