Effect of remote cardiac monitoring system design on response time to critical arrhythmias
This research discovered that in hospital telemetry systems, the design of cardiac monitoring setups, including the number of communication nodes and the location of monitoring stations, significantly affects the efficiency of responding to critical arrhythmias. The study suggests that systems with intermediaries and central monitoring stations co-located with patient units have quicker response times, and it underscores the impact of nurses' workload on response latency.
