Alarm fatigue¶
Alarm fatigue.
Retired. This is not a bibliographic entry. Our extractor captured an inline prose definition from an article and stored it as a work. The concept is real; this registry record is a parsing defect. This entry is kept so the citations that pointed at it still resolve, and so the correction is visible rather than silent.

Mechanisms¶
- Alert Fatigue Dashboard
- An intensive-care unit is drowning in alarms — cardiac monitors, infusion pumps, ventilators — and alarm fatigue is a recognized patient-safety hazard.
This sourceThe dashboard exists to make that fatigue measurable before it produces a missed alarm.

- Exposure or Alarm Sensitivity Adjuster
- Its dominant hazard is alarm fatigue run backwards: the pressure of a flood pushes sensitivity down and down until the system is quiet — and blind — and the "temporary" desensitization becomes permanent because nobody feels the misses the way they felt the noise.
This sourceIt is the standard justification for tuning alarm sensitivity, and the standard warning against tuning it only to reduce volume, since the misses that result are far less salient than the noise removed.
