Verteilte Alarmsysteme. Für Ruhe auf der Intensivstation

Pflegefachkraft hält sich aufgrund eines Alarms die Ohren zu

Es ist ein echter Kampf. Dauerstress durch Alarme auf der Intensivstation

Im Schnitt können pro Intensivpatient mehr als 700 Alarme am Tag ausgegeben werden. Davon sind schätzungsweise 80 % bis 95 % nicht klinisch relevant (Cvach M. Monitor alarm fatigue: an integrative review. Biomed Instrum Technol. 2012;46(4):268-277. doi:10.2345/0899-8205-46.4.2681​, McBride DL, LeVasseur SA.

Diese Unzahl an Fehlalarmen kann dazu führen, dass das Pflegepersonal abstumpft und nicht mehr angemessen darauf reagiert (https://www.ecri.org/Resources/In_the_News/Sound_the_Alarm(PSQH).pdfA​). Das birgt das Risiko einer Patientenschädigung und führt bei Patienten und Pflegepersonal zu Unzufriedenheit (https://www.ecri.org/Resources/In_the_News/Sound_the_Alarm(PSQH).pdfA​, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK555522/B​).

Ton aus! Und Ruhe herrscht

Wenn das Beatmungsgerät als Teil eines verteilten Alarmsystem (VAS) konfiguriert ist (Nur beim HAMILTON-C6/G5/S1 verfügbarC​), kann die Ausgabe von akustischen Alarmen für eine unbegrenzte Zeit deaktiviert werden. Diese Funktion wird als „AUDIO global aus“ bezeichnet.

Ist die Funktion „AUDIO global aus“ aktiviert, werden Alarme des Beatmungsgerätes an andere Geräte im VAS übertragen, während die optischen Alarmanzeigen am Beatmungsgerät aktiv bleiben.

Beruhigt arbeiten. Handhabung von Alarmen mit Ascom

Die Kombination des Ascom Digistat 7.2 mit den Beatmungsgeräten HAMILTON‑G5/S1 und HAMILTON‑C6 liefert ein VAS-konformes System. Die Beatmungsgeräte HAMILTON‑G5/S1 und HAMILTON‑C6 übertragen alle Alarme an das Alarm-Managementsystem von Ascom, womit ein vollständig zuverlässiges Management der Alarme sichergestellt ist.

Alarmmeldungen können an die Mobiltelefone des Pflegepersonals gesendet oder auf Computern und Instrumententafeln angezeigt werden.

Verfügbarkeit

Die Integration in ein verteiltes Alarmsystem ist auf den Beatmungsgeräten HAMILTON-C6 und HAMILTON-G5/S1 als Option verfügbar.

Alarm fatigue is a national problem and the number one medical device technology hazard in 2012. The problem of alarm desensitization is multifaceted and related to a high false alarm rate, poor positive predictive value, lack of alarm standardization, and the number of alarming medical devices in hospitals today. This integrative review synthesizes research and non-research findings published between 1/1/2000 and 10/1/2011 using The Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice model. Seventy-two articles were included. Research evidence was organized into five main themes: excessive alarms and effects on staff; nurse's response to alarms; alarm sounds and audibility; technology to reduce false alarms; and alarm notification systems. Non-research evidence was divided into two main themes: strategies to reduce alarm desensitization, and alarm priority and notification systems. Evidence-based practice recommendations and gaps in research are summarized.

BACKGROUND

Coincident with the proliferation of employer-provided mobile communication devices, personal communication devices, including basic and enhanced mobile phones (smartphones) and tablet computers that are owned by the user, have become ubiquitous among registered nurses working in hospitals. While there are numerous benefits of personal communication device use by nurses at work, little is known about the impact of these devices on in-patient care.

OBJECTIVE

Our aim was to examine how hospital-registered nurses use their personal communication devices while doing both work-related and non‒work-related activities and to assess the impact of these devices on in-patient care.

METHODS

A previously validated survey was emailed to 14,797 members of two national nursing organizations. Participants were asked about personal communication device use and their opinions about the impact of these devices on their own and their colleagues' work.

RESULTS

Of the 1268 respondents (8.57% response rate), only 5.65% (70/1237) never used their personal communication device at work (excluding lunch and breaks). Respondents self-reported using their personal communication devices at work for work-related activities including checking or sending text messages or emails to health care team members (29.02%, 363/1251), as a calculator (25.34%, 316/1247), and to access work-related medical information (20.13%, 251/1247). Fewer nurses reported using their devices for non‒work-related activities including checking or sending text messages or emails to friends and family (18.75%, 235/1253), shopping (5.14%, 64/1244), or playing games (2.73%, 34/1249). A minority of respondents believe that their personal device use at work had a positive effect on their work including reducing stress (29.88%, 369/1235), benefiting patient care (28.74%, 357/1242), improving coordination of patient care among the health care team (25.34%, 315/1243), or increasing unit teamwork (17.70%, 220/1243). A majority (69.06%, 848/1228) of respondents believe that on average personal communication devices have a more negative than positive impact on patient care and 39.07% (481/1231) reported that personal communication devices were always or often a distraction while working. Respondents acknowledged their own device use negatively affected their work performance (7.56%, 94/1243), or caused them to miss important clinical information (3.83%, 47/1225) or make a medical error (0.90%, 11/1218). Respondents reported witnessing another nurse's use of devices negatively affect their work performance (69.41%, 860/1239), or cause them to miss important clinical information (30.61%, 378/1235) or make a medical error (12.51%, 155/1239). Younger respondents reported greater device use while at work than older respondents and generally had more positive opinions about the impact of personal communication devices on their work.

CONCLUSIONS

The majority of registered nurses believe that the use of personal communication devices on hospital units raises significant safety issues. The high rate of respondents who saw colleagues distracted by their devices compared to the rate who acknowledged their own distraction may be an indication that nurses are unaware of their own attention deficits while using their devices. There were clear generational differences in personal communication device use at work and opinions about the impact of these devices on patient care. Professional codes of conduct for personal communication device use by hospital nurses need to be developed that maximize the benefits of personal communication device use, while reducing the potential for distraction and adverse outcomes.
