Prior to and following the application of evidence, the occurrence of unfavorable outcomes pertaining to the management of surgical patient monitors and anesthesia alarm reports, the degree of evidence-based organizational culture, the implementation rate of review indicators, and the associated knowledge level of alarm fatigue prevention and management were all compared.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Following the implementation of evidence-based practice, the indicators related to Anesthesiologists and nurses were reviewed, and the implementation rate was improved compared with the baseline. The frequency of negative outcomes associated with surgical patient monitoring and anesthesia alarm management was considerably decreased. Anesthesiology physicians\u2019 and nurses\u2019 knowledge of alarm fatigue management (t\u202f=\u202f\u22127.027, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001) and evidence-based practice skills (t\u202f=\u202f\u221252.804, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001) improved.
