Key result
Critical care alarm research shows ~1% nursing involvement in engineering study designs.
Why the study?
Engineering approaches to reduce false critical care alarms appear to lack collaboration between nurses and engineers to produce real-world solutions.
There is minimal involvement of nursing expertise in alarm research utilizing engineering methodologies, highlighting a need for interdisciplinary collaboration to develop real-world solutions for alarm fatigue.

May limit real-world applicability of alarm models; leaves open benefits of interdisciplinary designs in critical care.
Agha-Mir-Salim et al. (2023) studied Alarm fatigue in critical care (n=155). A bibliometric analysis of 155 articles on critical care alarm research revealed minimal nursing involvement in engineering study designs (mean proportion 1.09%).
