Automatic system of diagnosing and treatment in intensive care unit

Introduction According to statistics, in average 1.7 medical errors occurs daily in the treatment of patients in intensive care [2]. 78% of medical errors are drug dosing errors [3]. Such errors can occur at any stage of the treatment, whether use of the drug, its preparation or administration. Mistakes in medicinal treatment had been done in 187 cases out of 5744 (3.3%) [1]. The greatest number of errors are related to speed of administration (40.1%), a pass-dose, incorrect dosage and delayed use of the drug were, respectively, 14.4%,11.7% and 13.9% [1]. The automatic robotic system is intended to reduce the number of medical errors by automatic dose calculation due to weight, age and etc. It consists of three functional modules: a block of drug administration, patient monitor, the analytical unit (decision support system processing of received information, the definition of the state, providing recommendations). Data from all devices are automatically directed to the program and program sends commands to pumps. The system is based on national clinical guidelines of patient care in intensive care unit.
