Reducing Cardiac Telemetry Nuisance Alarms Through Evidence-Based Interventions

Abstract

Cardiac telemetry nuisance alarms are most often due to leads off and poor signal events. Nuisance alarms increase staff workflow interruptions, decrease staff trust in technology, and can compromise patient safety. Implementation of evidence-based interventions for daily care of cardiac telemetry patients should decrease the number of nuisance alarms.
