High Alert Warnings on Anesthesia Workstations

We are internally debating the usefulness of High Alert Warnings on our anesthesia workstations. Currently, our sites are not consistent if they do or not. The debate is are they useful vs. causing alert fatigue. I'm leaning towards the alert fatigue side with the exception of Neuromuscular Blockers. Curious on what others are doing.
