Assessing the Impact of Monitor Maintenance Package Utilization
Sponsor: Istanbul Demiroglu Bilim University
Summary
Bedside monitors are frequently used in monitoring vital signs of critically ill patients. Nurses working in healthcare facilities, especially in intensive care units, are required to manage devices with different alarm threshold values, categories, and types of alerts, leading to alarm fatigue. In response to this serious threat to patient safety, the FDA and The Joint Commission worked to develop strategies to address alarm fatigue in 2011. Alarm monitoring, identification of the cause, and silencing are typically performed by nurses. When reviewing alarm control studies in the literature, the CEASE care package developed by Levis et al. in 2019 was encountered. The tool was developed for personalized clinical alarm monitoring for the patient.

Interventions
Experimental group: CEASE Care Package and Remember Me Tool
Before the intervention, the intervention group will first undergo the 'Nurse Identification Form' and the 'Alarm Fatigue Scale'. The current root cause analysis of monitor alarms in the clinical setting will be conducted through the 'CEASE Care Package' and the 'Current Situation Analysis Form'. Each patient monitor in the intensive care unit will be observed and recorded by two observers for a period of 24 hours.The Monitor Alarm Control Tool - "Remember Me" will be attached beneath each monitor to facilitate easier monitoring by nurses. Nurses are expected to use the tool for a period of 15 days. After intervention; Two observers will conduct a re-evaluation using the "CEASE Care Package" and the "Current Status Analysis Form". Monitor alarms will be continuously assessed and recorded for 24 hours. Following the completion of this stage, the "Alarm Fatigue Scale" will be reapplied to the intervention group.
