While multiple alarms can be incredibly beneficial, there are some challenges:
- Alarm Fatigue: Constant alarms can lead to desensitization, where nurses might start ignoring alarms. This is a significant issue in healthcare settings. - Technical Issues: Devices can malfunction or run out of battery, leading to missed alarms. - Over-Reliance on Technology: Solely depending on alarms can be risky if the system fails, so it's crucial to have a backup plan.
