B850 Monitors
For those of you who have had monitor training, what do you think should be our practice regarding bed-to-bed viewing? There is an option to only have the alarms breakthrough, therefore only when the other patients alarm, the monitor of the room that you are in will split-screen with a view of the alarming patient's display and corresponding alarms. We need to determine what is best practice for our new unit. Until further notice, only bradys will be coming to our Cisco phones. Therefore, we would see if one of our babies are desatting, when we are not at our desks in view of all the monitors.

I think an alarm breakthrough would be sufficient. Will all alarms come in or only the critical ones?
All alarms will breakthrough from the rooms you selected to remotely receive alarms from.
I also think only alarm breakthrough would be good. It would be nice if only critical alarms would break through.
Currently, only bradys will be coming to our phones. If we allowed desats to come to our phones, then all desats would come, even the 83s. Therefore, if we can at least see the desat on a remote monitor, we can keep an eye on it, and if the kid keeps dropping, we can go to their room before they brady or get really low. At least we can silence the alarms from a remote monitor, and just watch it, which will be nice.
I agree on having breakthrough alarm but considering we might have different babies than the dayshift nurse we need to make sure that the first thing we do after report is make sure the coorect babies are on each monitor so an alarm doesnt get missed
