-Alarms should never be completely silenced; rather, clinical staff should problem-solve why an alarm condition is occurring and work to resolve it. -Cardiac monitor devices have a high sensitivity for detecting arrhythmias and vital sign changes, but have a low specificity; therefore, they generate a high number of false positive alarms. -Clinicians should learn how to tailor alarm thresholds to an individual patient to avoid an excessive number of alarms and alarm fatigue. -Alarm safety is a National Patient Safety Goal, highlighting the importance of developing institutional policies and practice standards to improve awareness of this problem and designing interventions to reduce the burden to clinicians, while ensuring patient safety.

After the procedure, the physician realized the block was placed on the wrong side of the patients body. This is associated with the goal of "Prevent mistakes during surgery." The takeaway from this situation is that a patient should always be marked for the correct side. ]]> 2022-04-07 14:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jrideout2/djx1nhy0dc94n9of/wish/2134700801
