The Joint Commission of Accreditation of Hospitals is recommending that steps _1_ to reduce the number of alarms that go off in patient areas. As NPR's Patti Neighmond reports the commission says all the beeps and buzzing can distract caregivers and endanger patients.
美國醫(yī)院聯(lián)合評審委員會建議采取措施減少病人區(qū)的警報聲。據(jù)NPR新聞的帕蒂·內(nèi)蒙德報道，委員會表示，所有的警告聲和嘈雜聲都會分散看護的注意力，危害病人。
The Joint Commission points to federal _2_ that identify more than 560 alarm-related deaths in hospitals. Alarms are found on numerous medical devices. They are intended to alert caregivers of potential problems. But because there are so many, caregivers can actually suffer from what the commission calls noise fatigue, where doctors and nurses inadvertently ignore the sounds, even when there is a real patient emergency. And that can delay treatment and harm patients. The commission calls for better management of medical device alarms and recommends hospitals take inventory of all alarms, know where there _3_ and determine whether they are really necessary for patient care.

聯(lián)合委員會指出，聯(lián)邦調(diào)查結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，醫(yī)院中與警報聲相關(guān)的死亡人數(shù)超過560人。無數(shù)個醫(yī)療設(shè)備會發(fā)出警報聲。它們會警告看護人員潛在的問題。但是因為有太多的警報聲，看護人員實際上在遭受噪音疲勞，醫(yī)生和護士會無意中忽視這些聲音，甚至是在出現(xiàn)真正的病人緊急情況時。這會耽誤治療并傷害患者。委員會呼吁更好的管理這些醫(yī)療設(shè)備警報，并建議醫(yī)院清點所有的警報，了解它們的位置并決定病人是否真的需要護理。NPR新聞，帕蒂·內(nèi)蒙德報道。
