REVISTA DE PESQUISA-CUIDADO E FUNDAMENTAL ONLINE(2021)
Abstract
Objective: to identify the causes of alarm fatigue in studies of infusion pump usability in pediatric intensive care. Methods: an integrative review was carried out in the LILACS, SciELO, IBECS, SCOPUS and MEDLINE databases. Results: 1,164 publications were identified and six primary studies were selected that emerged in two themes: understanding the causes of the infusion pump alarms that consisted of: incomplete drug library, absolute and strict relative limits, lack of preparation protocol and medication administration, employee vacation period; and measures that can prevent fatigue from your alarms. Conclusion: the causes of alarm fatigue involve low user interaction with the equipment, inadequate work processes and low investment in preventive measures for its occurrence The safe use of infusion pumps requires a team to monitor their practices and act by promoting changes in the work context.
