Abstract | OBJECTIVE: Alarms are a substantial part of clinical practice, warning clinicians of patient complications. In this paper, we focus on alarms in the intensive care unit and especially on the use of machine learning techniques for the creation of alarms for the ventilator support of patients. The aim is to study a method to enable timely interventions for intubated patients and prevent complications induced by high driving pressure (ΔP) and lung strain during mechanical ventilation. |
