Abstract This paper provides a literature review of the topic of alarm fatigue and alarm management. The sources used were all published from 2016 onward and dealt in some way with alarm fatigue or with the challenges of alarm management. The papers were selected using databases ProQuest, PubMed, Springer, NCBI, and ScienceDirect. The keywords used for searching were “alarm fatigue,” “alarm management,” and “alarm fatigue patient safety.” The results of the
