Preferences regarding setting alarm thresholds for heart rate by profession

Percentages indicate the proportions of answers given per Likert item (e.g., “Agree”) by professional group. Responses marked with an asterisk (✱) are statistically significant regarding the observed median and 95% confidence interval of all responses using bootstrap resampling procedure (p < 0.05). Responses marked with a triangle (▲) reveal a statistically significant difference in responses stratified by profession (nurses, doctors) using Mann–Whitney U test (p < 0.05). CHD = congestive heart disease; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ICU = intensive care unit.
