Introduction: A high rate of false arrhythmia alarms leads to clinical alarm fatigue, i.e. desensitization and inappropriate silencing of alarms.

Over the past few years, reducing the number of false positive cardiac monitor alarms (FA) in the intensive care unit (ICU) has become an issue of the utmost importance. In our work, we developed a robust methodology that, without the need for additional non-ECG waveforms, suppresses false positive ventricular tachycardia (VT) alarms without resulting in false negative alarms. Our approach is based on features extracted from the ECG signal 20 seconds prior to a triggered alarm. We applied a multi resolution wavelet transform to the ECG data 20seconds prior to the alarm trigger, extracted features from appropriately chosen scales and …

...Our study aims were pretty straight-forward. We concentrated quite a bit on arrhythmia alarms, which is a little different than the parameter alarms we've been talking about so far today. We decided we were going to assess the alarm prevalence of patient's physiological monitor alarms. We'll identify the alarm burden, analyze a select high priority number of arrhythmia alarms and determine patient characteristics that may be associated with the frequent alarms.
