Abstract :
This article presents a mathematical method by which the future trajectory of patient spontaneous minute volume (SMV) may be predicted in the postoperative weaning period. The method outlined enables critical-care staff to predict the SMV trajectory up to 30 minutes into the future. Having this capability enables physicians, respiratory therapists, and nurses to more efficiently guide patient treatment and schedule rounds within the ICU.
