Autori

Lo sviluppo scientifico e tecnologico ha determinato nelle Terapie Intensive un aumento esponenziale degli allarmi clinici provenienti dai diversi dispositivi e, di conseguenza, dei falsi allarmi, ai quali si aggiungono i rumori ambientali. Sempre più spesso, gli infermieri non riescono a distinguere i diversi tipi di allarme e descrivono una sensazione di affaticamento da allarme. L'elevata frequenza dei falsi allarmi può condurre al cosiddetto <i>Cry Wolf Effect</i>, che può indurre gli infermieri a considerare come falsi quegli allarmi che in realtà sono significativi.
