During the assessment of monitoring equipment on acute medical cases in a general ward, a quantitative investigation of technical faults revealed that 44% of these occurred at the patient-sensor interface. While the attachment of the equipment was accepted by the patient and was suitable for application by nursing staff, this degree of technical breakdown indicates that more progress is necessary in the design of this aspect of monitoring equipment before it is possible to have a reliable system.
在对普通病房急性医疗病例监测设备的评估过程中,一项关于技术故障的定量调查显示,其中44%的故障发生在患者与传感器的接口处。尽管设备的连接为患者所接受,且护理人员也能够顺利使用,但如此程度的技术故障表明,在监测设备的这一方面设计上,要实现可靠系统仍需取得更大进展。
