Diagnostic Monitoring of Intensive Care Unit Data Using Trend Templates
نویسندگان
چکیده
In previous work we have defined our trend template epistemology for clinically significant trends and we have illustrated and tested a program TrenDx that monitors time-ordered process data by matching the data to trend templates. Our initial application domain was pediatric growth monitoring. For this symposium we have explored monitoring hemodynamic and respiratory parameters of intensive care unit patients. This application has highlighted the needs for advances in our representation and monitoring algorithms. In particular, we have added reasoning with uncertainty to the trend template epistemology, and a new control structure allowing numerical ranking of competing trend templates. We also have added persistence heuristics to reduce branching of the different chronologies for how data matches a trend template. We demonstrate these techniques on a set of trend templates that monitor if oxygen handbagging is adequate or compromises venous return. 1

Background: Neglecting the pain assessment in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with decreased level of consciousness (LOC) can lead to inappropriate pain management. Implementation of a pain management protocol may contribute to avoiding such negligence. Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of using a pain monitoring protocol on the pain intensity of ICU patients with decreased LOC. ...
متن کاملKnowledge-based trend detection and diagnosis
This report presents a knowledge-based approach to diagnostic process monitoring. The cornerstone of this work is the representation and detection of multivariate trends in process data. The trend representation, called a trend template, denotes a time-varying pattern in multiple variables common to a diagnostic population. Each pattern contains representations for landmark events and a set of ...
