LVAD- Antibiotic and Warfarin Alert

Fasting and warfarin

Alert correlation and prediction using data mining and HMM

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are security tools widely used in computer networks. While they seem to be promising technologies, they pose some serious drawbacks: When utilized in large and high traffic networks, IDSs generate high volumes of low-level alerts which are hardly manageable. Accordingly, there emerged a recent track of security research, focused on alert correlation, which ext...

Stroke and Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)

Treatment of ischemic stroke for a patient on left ventricular assist device (LVAD) by neurointerventional means is rare and many anesthesia providers are unfamiliar with both LVAD and neurointerventional protocols. Examples of this include: 1) filling for continuous-flow LVAD depend on preload and the flow is inversely related to afterload; as mean arterial pressure (MAP) increases above 80 to...

Implementation of an Automated Electronic Medical Record “Antibiotic Timeout” Alert at a Tertiary, Academic Medical Center

Impact of a computer-generated alert system prompting review of antibiotic use in hospitals.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to measure the impact on antibiotic use of a computer-generated alert prompting post-prescription review and direct counselling in hospital wards. METHODS A computer-generated alert on new prescriptions of 15 antibiotics was reviewed weekly by an infectious disease physician for 41 weeks. During the first 6 months of the study, criteria selected for potent...
