Activity and Circadian Rhythm of Sepsis Patients in the Intensive Care Unit [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Early mobilization of critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) can prevent adverse outcomes such as delirium and post-discharge physical impairment. To date, no studies have characterized activity of sepsis patients in the ICU using granular actigraphy data.

Detection of squawks in respiratory sounds of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Mechanically ventilated patients typically exhibit abnormal respiratory sounds. Squawks are short inspiratory adventitious sounds that may occur in patients with pneumonia, such as COVID-19 patients. In this work we devised a method for squawk detection in mechanically ventilated patients by developing algorithms for respiratory cycle estimation ...

A Deep Learning Approach to Predicting Ventilator Parameters for Mechanically Ventilated Septic Patients [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We develop a deep learning approach to predicting a set of ventilator parameters for a mechanically ventilated septic patient using a long and short term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network (RNN) model. We focus on short-term predictions of a set of ventilator parameters for the septic patient in emergency intensive care unit (EICU).

Tracheostomy in critically ill patients [PDF]
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, 2008 ENT surgeons are called in more often these days to perform tracheostomy in critically ill patients. When to perform tracheostomy is a question, which is most often asked. There are definite advantages for performing tracheostomy at an early stage of intensive care, but at the same time we need to be aware of the possible complications that are ...
