- Abstract
The article focuses on the prevalence of alarm fatigue in neonatal care, drawing parallels with an aviation incident (LAPA 3142) to highlight the dangers of ignoring alarms. Topics discussed include challenges in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) alarm management, especially regarding oxygen saturation alarms, proposed solutions such as adjusting alarm limits, and the importance of balancing patient safety with the risk of alarm fatigue.
