Reducing False and Irrelevant Alarms in Physiological Monitoring Systems
Mon, 2005-11-28 01:00 — KonstantinResearch for the 2006 Intel Science Talent Search and NYC Science & Engineering Fair
Carried out at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, primarily in the summer of 2005.
Abstract:
Studies have shown that most alarms generated by physiological monitoring systems in modern hospitals are false or clinically irrelevant. This makes it difficult for nurses to pick out and respond to the relevant alarms, reducing efficiency and posing a potential risk to patients.
