There are several types of alarm notification devices used in nursing:
Bed Alarms: These are used to alert nurses when a patient at risk of falling attempts to leave their bed. Cardiac Monitors: These continuously monitor heart rate and rhythm, alerting staff to any abnormalities. Infusion Pump Alarms: These notify nurses when there is an issue with medication administration, such as occlusion or empty reservoir. Respiratory Monitors: Used to monitor breathing patterns and alert staff to respiratory distress.
