The alarms of medical devices are a matter of concern in critical and perioperative care. The frequent false alarms not only are a nuisance for patients and caregivers but can also compromise patient safety and effectiveness of care. The development of alarm systems has lagged behind the technological advances of medical devices over the last 20 years. From a clinical perspective, major improvements of alarm algorithms are urgently needed. We give an overview of the current clinical situation and the underlying problems and discuss different methods from statistics and computational science and their potential for clinical application.
医疗设备的警报在重症及围手术期护理中备受关注。频繁的误报不仅给患者和护理人员带来困扰，还可能危及患者安全及护理效果。在过去20年里，警报系统的发展滞后于医疗设备的技术进步。从临床角度来看，迫切需要对警报算法进行重大改进。我们概述了当前的临床状况及潜在问题，并讨论了统计学和计算科学的不同方法及其临床应用潜力。
