Abstract
Background: Alarms play a crucial role in mechanical ventilation as they provide vital life-supporting function. These alarms notify healthcare providers of technical issues or patient-related events that require immediate attention or action. Aim: This study aimed to assess nurses' Awareness of Ventilator’s Alarms in Critical Care Units. Research design: A descriptive research design was utilized. Setting: The study was conducted in the intensive care units at Assiut University Hospital . Sample: A convenience sample of 40 nurses working in the intensive care units of Assiut University Hospital was included. Tools: Data were collected using: Tool(1) : An interview questionnaire to assess nurse' demographic characteristics; Tool(2): An evaluation of nurses' awareness regarding ventilator alarms. Result: Among the 40 nurses who participated in the study, majority were females, More than half had poor knowledge regarding mechanical ventilator (MV) alarms. Conclusion: The study showed that a large percentage of nursing staff members need educational and training courses regarding mechanical ventilators alarms. Recommendation: The study recommends a follow-up period in future research to accurately assess long-term outcomes.
