ReviewThe impact of continuous wireless monitoring on adverse device effects in medical and surgical wards: a review of current evidence.
Novel technologies allow continuous wireless monitoring systems (CWMS) to measure vital signs and these systems might be favorable compared to intermittent monitoring regarding improving outcomes. However, device safety needs to be validated because uncertain evidence challenges the clinical implementation of CWMS. This review investigates the frequency of device-related adverse events in patients monitored with CWMS in general hospital wards. ⋯ The studies of the SensiumVitals® patch, the iThermonitor, and the ViSi Mobile® device reported 28 (9%), 25 (5%), and 1 (3%) ADEs, respectively. No ADEs were reported using the HealthPatch, WARD 24/7 system, or Coviden Alarm Management. Current evidence suggests that CWMS are safe to use but systematic reporting of all adverse device effects is warranted.
