A new patient's status indicator to facilitate decision making in anesthesia

The vital function status (VFS), a real-time indicator that continuously depicts the overall status of the patient under anesthetic, is presented. The VFS is generated by a subsystem which has been developed as a part of adaptive real-time expert system for anesthesia. The subsystem can operate inde...

Description
Summary:The vital function status (VFS), a real-time indicator that continuously depicts the overall status of the patient under anesthetic, is presented. The VFS is generated by a subsystem which has been developed as a part of adaptive real-time expert system for anesthesia. The subsystem can operate independently and may be implemented in other highly monitored environments. It presents data at higher level of abstraction and does not hinder the accessibility to routine data (the routine monitors are still in use). On the contrary, more data per unit of time is being considered.< >
