Abstract

Alarm systems used in health services are mechanisms that give warning by audible and visual methods about possible problems related to the condition of the patient and in dangerous situations. Alarm systems are being used in intensive care units to detect sudden changes in the patient’s condition and to perform appropriate interventions. Although the alarm systems are often used with patient safety purposes, they also bring with them problems due to lack of knowledge and management. In this article, concepts related to alarm systems/definitions, alarm systems and relation to patient safety, alarm management interventions have been discussed.

Özet

Sağlık hizmetlerinde kullanılan alarm sistemleri, hastada meydana gelebilecek olası sorunlar ve tehlikeli durumlarda sesli ve ışıklı yöntemler ile uyarı veren mekanizmalardır. Alarm sistemleri yoğun bakım ünitelerinde, hastanın durumundaki ani değişimleri belirlemek ve uygun müdahaleleri gerçekleştirmek amacıyla kullanılmaktadır. Alarm sistemleri, hasta güvenliği amacı ile sıklıkla kullanılmasına rağmen, bilgi ve yönetim eksikliğine bağlı sorunları da beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu makalede, alarm sistemleri ile ilgili kavramlar/tanımlar, alarm sistemleri ve hasta güvenliği ilişkisi, alarm yönetimi ile ilgili uygulamalar tartışılmıştır.
