Abstract

BACKGROUND: Continuous waveform monitoring is standard-of-care for patients at risk for or with critically illness. Derived from waveforms, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure variability contain useful diagnostic and prognostic information; and when combined with machine learning, can provide predictive indices relating to severity of illness and/or reduced physiologic reserve. Integration of predictive models into clinical decision support software (CDSS) tools represents a potential evolution of monitoring.
