Pressure injury (PI), or local damage to soft tissues and skin caused by prolonged pressure, remains controversial in the medical world. Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) were frequently reported to suffer PIs, with a heavy burden on their life...
Critical care practice has been embodied in the healthcare system since the institutionalization of intensive care units (ICUs) in the late '50s. Over time, this sector has experienced many changes and improvements in providing immediate and dedicate...
OBJECTIVE: Acute kidney injury (AKI), a common condition on the intensive-care unit (ICU), is characterized by an abrupt decrease in kidney function within a few hours or days, leading to kidney failure or damage. Although AKI is associated with poor...
As many as 80% of critically ill patients develop delirium increasing the need for institutionalization and higher morbidity and mortality. Clinicians detect less than 40% of delirium when using a validated screening tool. EEG is the criterion standa...
Although intensive care medicine (ICM) is a relatively young discipline, it has rapidly developed into a full-fledged and highly specialized specialty covering several fields of medicine. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a surge in intensive care unit de...

BACKGROUND: A growing body of research suggests that the use of computerized decision support systems can better guide disease treatment and reduce the use of social and medical resources. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is increasingly being...
BACKGROUND: Identifying patterns within ICU medication regimens may help artificial intelligence algorithms to better predict patient outcomes; however, machine learning methods incorporating medications require further development, including standar...
BACKGROUND: The use of machine learning is becoming increasingly popular in many disciplines, but there is still an implementation gap of machine learning models in clinical settings. Lack of trust in models is one of the issues that need to be addre...
INTRODUCTION: Digital twins, a form of artificial intelligence, are virtual representations of the physical world. In the past 20 years, digital twins have been utilized to track wind turbines' operations, monitor spacecraft's status, and even create...
