Deep Reinforcement Learning for Optimal Critical Care Pain Management with Morphine using Dueling Double-Deep Q Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Opioids are the preferred medications for the treatment of pain in the intensive care unit. While undertreatment leads to unrelieved pain and poor clinical outcomes, excessive use of opioids puts patients at risk of experiencing multiple adverse effects.

A Corpus for Detecting High-Context Medical Conditions in Intensive Care Patient Notes Focusing on Frequently Readmitted Patients [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
A crucial step within secondary analysis of electronic health records (EHRs) is to identify the patient cohort under investigation. While EHRs contain medical billing codes that aim to represent the conditions and treatments patients may have, much of the information is only present in the patient notes.

An approach to study recruitment/derecruitment dynamics in a patient-specific computational model of an injured human lung [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
We present a new approach for physics-based computational modeling of diseased human lungs. Our main object is the development of a model that takes the novel step of incorporating the dynamics of airway recruitment/de-recruitment into an anatomically accurate, spatially resolved model of respiratory system mechanics, and the relation of these dynamics

ICU Disparnumerophobia and Triskaidekaphobia: The 'Irrational Care Unit'? [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Whilst evidence-based medicine is the cornerstone of modern practice, it is likely that clinicians are influenced by cultural biases. This work set out to look for evidence of number preference in invasive mechanical ventilatory therapy as a concrete example of subconscious treatment bias.
