In modern intensive care units (ICUs) a vast and varied amount of physiological data is measured and collected, with the intent of providing clinicians with detailed information about the physiological state of each patient. The data include measurements from the bedside monitors of heavily instrumented patients, imaging studies, laboratory test results, and clinical observations. The clinician's task of integrating and interpreting the data, however, is complicated by the sheer volume of information and the challenges of organizing it appropriately. This task is made even more difficult by ICU patients' frequently-changing physiological state. Although the extensive clinical information collected in ICUs presents a challenge, it also opens up several opportunities. In particular, we believe that physiologically-based computational models and model-based estimation methods can be harnessed to better understand and track patient state. These methods would integrate a patient's hemodynamic data streams by analyzing and interpreting the available information, and presenting resultant pathophysiological hypotheses to the clinical staff in an effcient manner. In this thesis, such a possibility is developed in the context of cardiovascular dynamics. The central results of this thesis concern averaged models of cardiovascular dynamics and a novel estimation method for continuously tracking cardiac output and total peripheral resistance. This method exploits both intra-beat and inter-beat dynamics of arterial blood pressure, and incorporates a parametrized model of arterial compliance. We validated our method with animal data from laboratory experiments and ICU patient data.
(cont.) The resulting root-mean-square-normalized errors -- at most 15% depending on the data set -- are quite low and clinically acceptable. In addition, we describe a novel estimation scheme for continuously monitoring left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular end-diastolic volume. We validated this method on an animal data set. Again, the resulting root-mean-square-normalized errors were quite low -- at most 13%. By continuously monitoring cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, and arterial blood pressure, one has the basis for distinguishing between cardiogenic, hypovolemic, and septic shock. We hope that the results in this thesis will contribute to the development of a next-generation patient monitoring system.

Predicting outcomes for critically ill patients is a topic of considerable interest. The most widely used models utilize data from early in a patient's stay to predict risk of death. While research has shown that use of daily information, including trends in key variables, can improve predictions of patient prognosis, this problem is challenging as the number of variables that must be considered is large and increasingly complex modeling techniques are required. The objective of this thesis is to build a mortality prediction system that improves upon current approaches. We aim to do this in two ways: 1. By incorporating a wider range of variables, including time-dependent features 2. By exploring different predictive modeling techniques beyond standard regression We identify three promising approaches: a random forest model, a best subset regression containing just five variables, and a novel approach called the Univariate Flagging Algorithm (UFA). In this thesis, we show that all three methods significantly outperform a widely-used mortality prediction approach, the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. However, we assert that UFA in particular is well-suited for predicting mortality in critical care. It can detect optimal cut-points in data, easily scales to a large number of variables, is easy to interpret, is capable of predicting rare events, and is robust to noise and missing data. As such, we believe it is a valuable step toward individual patient survival estimates.

Pełny tekst źródłaIn healthcare, especially in critical care, various clinical situations are encountered and a huge amount of data, including those provided by equipment such as monitors and ventilators, are required for an appropriate decision-making. The mismatch between this vast amount of information and the human capability creates unnecessary variability in clinical decision. To cope with this problem, medical experts have defined specific strategy called evidence based medicine. This method has become the standard of practice and showed many benefits by leading to the definition of specific guidelines or precise protocols to follow in specific situations. However, the use of guidelines/protocols, especially in critical care, requires the continuous involvement of professionals at the patient's bedside strongly limiting their application in practice. The introduction of computerized assistants for implementing such guidelines/protocols may be an interesting technological solution. In mechanical ventilation where various protocols are available there is a growing acceptance that such computerization might be useful beyond research, in assisting clinicians in their daily decision making by taking over some routine tasks or providing suggestions. Moreover, this domain constitutes an ideal environment because mechanical ventilators are presently powerful electronic equipments in which computerized protocols can be efficiently embedded. The objective of this thesis was to explore several aspects of the development, deployment, and effectiveness of computerized protocols or smart controllers in mechanical ventilation in order to accelerate their creation and adoption. For this purpose, we focused on the use and the extension of SmartCare®, a computer framework for the automation of respiratory therapy starting from clinical knowledge modelling to execution in real time of specific routines embedded into medical products [1]. Through a reengineering approach, from practical experience in smart controller design and investigation of existing controllers, the objective was to define a catalogue of building blocks to facilitate the creation of new controllers. The modeling of such blocks using dedicated domain ontology ensures a sound formalization. To prove the effectiveness of such a generic approach, we built a smart controller for oxygenation tested on the patient's bedside. We reported its performance compared to standard therapy

Pełny tekst źródłaDying with dignity in the critical care unit (CCU) is a difficult process to define and limited information is available to assist with that definition. The purpose of this descriptive phenomenological study was to explore the critical care nurses lived experiences of caring for the dying patient in CCU. Understanding nurses’ perceptions and lived experiences of the phenomena will contribute to nursing knowledge, new insights for nurse leaders, and the possible development of a nursing model to guide nurses who are providing care to the dying patient. A qualitative, descriptive phenomenological methodology was used to guide this study. Twelve critical care nurses were recruited and interviewed, exploring their lived experiences of caring for the dying patient in the critical care setting. Three board questions comprised the interview guide allowing each nurse an opportunity to share their lived experiences of caring for the dying patient. Five themes emerged from the data: communication, family, technology, lack of education, and dying with dignity. Recommendations included early discussions with patients and families regarding end-of-life wishes as well as, strategies for nurses providing end-of-life care. The study participants also noted the need for increased awareness and education for patients, families and health care providers regarding end-of-life care, dying with dignity, and palliative and hospice referrals. Community education was also noted as an integral part of the awareness process. For nurses and physicians, the education should start during their basic education program and continue throughout their career especially those working in high acuity areas in health care. As in life, death and dying are important aspects of all of health care providers. Facilitating quality end-of life care could relieve pain and suffering for the dying patient and assist family members with allowing their loved one, the patient to die with dignity.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe professional status of physiotherapists in Sudan is reported to be low even though the profession was established in Khartoum, Sudan in 1969. Intensive care units are operating in Khartoum, Sudan. Physiotherapists have been reported to be integral to the management of intensive care patients. Globally, the role of ICU physiotherapists in the management of ICU patients have been explored and described; however, this information is lacking for Khartoum, where the profession is still in its infancy. Therefore, this study aimed to explore and describe the physiotherapists’ perceptions of their role in the management of intensive care patients in Khartoum, Sudan.

Pełny tekst źródłaPurpose: The purpose of this clinical scholarly project was to plan and execute a sepsis education presentation on identifying sepsis and using the three hour treatment bundle from the Surviving Sepsis Campaign to treat sepsis. The target audience is non-critical care inpatient nurses in a medium sized acute care community hospital.
Methods: Nurses were assigned a course over HealthStream, a web-based platform, which included the presentation along with a pre-test and post-test, and a consent statement to have their score reports analyzed. A descriptive analysis of group pre-test and post-test scores, compliance with completing each component of the three hour treatment bundle, sepsis mortality, and sepsis length of stay was completed.
Findings: There were 586 nurses who completed the course. A total of 172 nurses consented to having their test scores analyzed. The same test was used for the pre-test and the post-test. Overall, the mean test score for the pre-test was 75% and the mean post-test score was 92.6%. Completion compliance with each of the four components of the three hour treatment bundle increased in the 90 days following the education. Unfortunately, sepsis mortality and sepsis length of stay increased in the 90 days following the education using an outcome/expected variance ratio.
Conclusions: This project increased the post-test scores over pre-test scores. There was a linear relationship between increased post-test scores and at least one component (initial lactate vii measurement) of the three hour treatment bundle. There were confounding factors that might contribute to increased compliance of the treatment bundles. This method of education delivery proved useful for one person to provide education to a large group of nurses over a short period of time and allowed for the nurses to complete the course when they had time to do so.
Recommendations: This project should be expanded to include other areas of the hospital such as wound care, surgery clinic, emergency department, and other outpatient areas. In addition, the program could be modified for critical care unit nurses to include training on the six hour treatment bundle which focuses on critical care interventions.
