Abstract :
TraumAID is a consultation system for the diagnosis and treatment of multiple trauma. It integrates diagnostic reasoning, planning, and action. Its reasoner identifies diagnostic and therapeutic goals appropriate to the physician´s knowledge of the patient´s state, while its planner advises on beneficial actions to next perform. The physician´s lack of complete knowledge of the situation and the time limitations of emergency medicine constrain the ability of any planner to identify what would be the best thing to do. TraumAID´s Progressive Horizon Planner has been designed to create a plan for patient care that is in keeping with the standards of managing trauma
