Advanced clinical monitoring: similar scenario discrimination

Abstract

By creating a monitoring system to detect potentially fatal physiologic trends, we can provide physicians with an automatically-generated differential diagnosis based upon a patient's recent history. In order to make this diagnosis clinically reliable, the system must be sensitive enough to discriminate between physiologic events that can share nearly identical trends. In an effort to refine our discriminatory techniques, we have created a software "monitor" that uses fuzzy logic to analyze physiologic signals to make a clear distinction between an arrhythmic cardiac arrest (ACA) and the onset of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The differentiation capabilities of this monitor will form the foundation for a comprehensive automated diagnostic system.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
