To test the need for a graded system of alarms on ICU we examined this aspect of present management by recording the number of devices and alarm-releasing facilities, the interpretation of alarms and type of response of the nursing staff. The data were recorded on multiphase basis at the operative ICU of a university hospital. The mean number of devices per patient was 4.3 and per room 11.5. The mean interval between 2 alarms was 5 min 30 s. In more than 50 per cent the first reaction of the staff was alarm-related. We conclude that the number of alarm signals should be reduced and unique signals used for each group of medical devices.
为了测试重症监护病房（ICU）是否需要分级警报系统，我们通过记录设备数量、警报触发设施、对警报的解读以及护理人员的反应类型，对当前管理的这一方面进行了研究。数据是在一所大学医院的手术重症监护病房分多阶段记录的。每位患者的平均设备数量为4.3个，每个房间为11.5个。两次警报之间的平均间隔为5分30秒。超过50%的情况下，工作人员的第一反应与警报有关。我们得出结论，应减少警报信号的数量，并为每组医疗设备使用独特的信号。
