Objectives:
The article aims at survey and analysis on ventilator alarm status in pediatric hospital.
Methods:
First, we design the statistical table of ventilator, and analyze the reliability of statistical table. Then we evaluate the effectiveness of the alarm. Finally, we evaluate the alarm information synthetically through investigation and statistics.
Results:
The ventilator alarm is ineffective, a large number of nonsensical alarms, leading to lower alert sensitivity of medical staff.
Conclusions:
According to the survey results, we should analyze the cause of the problem, and propose the corresponding alarm management method.
