An innovative solution that showcases how seamless interoperability enhances alarm management in the ICU. By improving workflow efficiency and reducing noise, Silent ICU contributes to a calmer and more comfortable patient environment and a more effective workspace for caregivers.
Excessive noise and disturbances in the ICU can negatively impact patient recovery and well-being. It also increases the stress and alarm fatigue for clinical staff with the risk of missed critical alarms. This can lead to a range of problems for patients, staff, and the effective running of the ICU:
With active alarm management at its core, the Silent ICU approach helps reduce noise pollution and alarm fatigue to provide better patient care and working environment.
The Silent ICU solution seamlessly, automatically, and securely transfers data between devices and management systems based on proprietary standards or international standards like the ISO/IEEE 11073 SDC.
The solution enables alarms to be transferred to the Ascom-distributed alarm system. Alarms are visualized on a dashboard that can be located at the nurse station. In addition, actionable alarms are simultaneously routed to the right caregiver at the right time. Meanwhile, at the bedside, the medical device alarms remain silent, which significantly reduces noise levels in the ICU.
Arcomed pumps (Volumed® µVP7000 and Syramed® µSP6000) and Hamilton ventilators (HAMILTON‑C6 and HAMILTON‑G5/S1) integrate with Ascom’s Distributed Alarm System (DAS) to create a Silent ICU. In this setup, alarms are fully delegated to a central dashboard or handheld device, keeping bedside devices in audio-off mode. The result? A quieter healing environment for patients and a more efficient workflow for caregivers.
