alarm fatigue level and alarm fatigue management pre and post implementation of alarm safety bundle. 
Conclusion: It was concluded that there were statistically significant differences between nurses' perception and 
practices categories indicating good knowledge and practice after the nurses implementing safety bundle

alarm fatigue p value (0.005*). Recommendation: It is recommended to develop a standardized tool that 
assesses nurses‘ perception of clinical alarms and alarm management guidelines. In service training
