Abstrakt: Healthcare staff are typically exposed to hundreds of alarms each shift; researchers believe that the number of alarms may be more than 1000 alarms per shift. This may lead to staff becoming desensitised to the alarm, leading to a delayed or inadequate response to the alarm, known as alarm fatigue. Clinical-grade wireless smartphones are now carried by clinical staff to receive calls and notifications from a nurse call system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
