Abstract：This article explores the issue of alarm fatigue faced by nursing staff during the use of electrocardiogram monitors,analyzes its underlying causes,and proposes a series of targeted intervention measures.The primary causes of alarm fatigue include excessive device alarms,the physiological of patients,and shortcomings in nursing practices.In or-der to address these issues,it is recommended to strengthen the training of nursing staff to enhance their awareness and technical proficiency in alarm management;optimize alarm settings by adjusting alarm parameters and volume based on in-dividual patient needs;and improve nursing techniques by standardizing operational procedures and strengthening equip-ment maintenance,thereby reducing false alarms.Through the comprehensive implementation of these measures,alarm fa-tigue can be effectively alleviated,leading to improved nursing quality and patient safety.
