The research aims to evaluate how different medication types and infusion durations influence IV smart pump alarms.
Analyzed IVSP alarm data based on medication class and specific medications
Examined the relationship between infusion duration and alarm frequency
Identified patterns to target for alarm reduction
Identified specific medication classes associated with higher alarm rates
Found a correlation between longer infusion durations and increased alarm frequency
Proposed areas for reducing unnecessary alarms based on data analysis
Abstract
This study demonstrates how IVSP alarm data, when evaluated by medication class or individual medication(s), can be used to identify potential areas to target for reducing unnecessary IVSP alarms.
