Abstract

A prototype developed to support interpretation of respiratory data for ventilated patients is described. Data are taken from standard respirators and/or monitors used in intensive care units (ICUs). An initial knowledge base was built from data given by four specialists in intensive care. Both quantitative and qualitative aspects were taken into account. Major attention was paid to different aspects of the system: monitor interface to produce valid data, user interface and time representation. The prototype, called RESPAID, runs in real-time on an IBM PC AT3 with first class shell. This shell uses the concept of learning from examples. RESPAID is currently undergoing clinical validation
