A Novel ECG Ward Telemetry System with Smartphone Based Alarm Escalation
Author(s): Rainer Hoffmann, Jochen Michaelsen, Lukas Langenbrink, Mirlind Kastrati, Michal Piatkowski, Guido Hengemühle, Tobias Schüll and Matthias Lammers
Background: Need for a permanent control person and alarm fatigue are limitations of telemetry surveillance systems ending at the central surveillance monitor. This study evaluated an escalation system expanding the alarm sequence by smartphones.
Methods: Telemetry system with 26 monitoring units and WLAN based alarm escalation system to three smartphones (Care Event, Philips) was evaluated during 128 days regarding major arrhythmia alarm (MAA) frequency, escalation of alarms within the system and response times. ECG triggering the MAA, patient name and position are shown on the smartphone display. MAA are forwarded initially to smartphone one. Forwarding of MAA to two further smartphones is actively triggered or occurs a... view more»
