Months ago I wrote about the AAMI Summit on Clinical Alarms. This prompts some ideas for research to mitigate nuisance and general patient medical device alarm problems: improving signal to noise (specifically, sensitivity / specificity): reducing data overload / information underload would limit “nuisance” alarms; need for device intelligence: for example, the medical device alarm has context for [...]

Modeling Post-Operative Respiratory State in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Patients: A Method for Weaning Patients from Post-Operative Mechanical Ventilation Introduction to the mathematical modeling process (Pages 1-50) A mathematical model of an important respiratory parameter, spontaneous minute volume, was developed. It is shown that this model faithfully represents the evolution of the respiratory state of Coronary Artery [...]

This work combines much of the experience learned in medical device interoperability and clinical informatics I have gained over the course of the past 20+ years. I have leveraged work from my  PhD and experience in product management of critical care. The device connectivity experience and lessons learned are documented in my first book. Text is available [...]

Modeling Post-Operative Respiratory State in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Patients: A Method for Weaning Patients from Mechanical Ventilation. This PhD research developed a model for real-time assessment of patient postoperative recovery and viability for weaning from postoperative mechanical ventilation. Weaning from postoperative mechanical ventilation isa key process in surgical intensive care. According to the SCCM (Source: [...]
