Abstract
An expert ventilator alarm system was developed for the NASA Space Station. The alarm system identifies critical events and delivers diagnostic textual messages in real time. Using simulation, 520 critical events were created. The expert system correctly identified 98% of the events. By providing specific alarm text messages to identify specific events, the system can improve patient care and help the patient care personnel respond more correctly to critical events.<>
