Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1)To quantify Alarms per Monitored Bed Day (AMBD) and to categorize the types of alarms generated in our ICU (categorised as high priority, medium priority and low priority, and clinical & technical alarm).Timepoint: 1 Year | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1)Recategorizing alarm priority according to clinical significance like life threatening as high priority vs non-life threatening as low priority.Timepoint: 1 Year;2)To find the incidence of alarms per patient ICU day to assess life threatening alarms according to clinical status like SOFA score, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and APACHE II score.Timepoint: 1 Year;3)To evaluate alarm fatigue (incidence & temporal variations) among ICU healthcare providers (resident doctors and nursing staff), and assess their perceptions and coping strategies using a predefined questionnaire.Timepoint: 1 Year;4)To identify common causes of false alarms and propose evidence-based mitigation strategies.Timepoint: 1 Year;5)To examine the relationship between alarm exposure and nurse response time.Timepoint: 1 Year | — |
