Pilot study of sources and concentrations of size-resolved airborne particles in a neonatal intensive care unit

Infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are vulnerable to environmental stressors. Few studies have reported on airborne particles in the NICU environment. During a four-day pilot study in a private-style NICU, we measured size-resolved particle n ...

False arrhythmia alarms reduction in the intensive care unit: a multimodal approach

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sasan Yazdani, Sibylle Fallet

The purpose of this study was to develop algorithms to lower the incidence of false arrhythmia alarms in the ICU using information from independent sources, namely electrocardiogram (ECG), arterial blood pressure (ABP) and photoplethysmogram (PPG). Our app ...

Predicting Acute Hypotensive Episodes

Jean-Marc Vesin, Mathieu Lemay, Florian Jousset

The goal of the challenge 2009 is to predict which patients will experience acute hypotensive episode (AHE) within a forecast window. AHE may result in dangerous complications and even death. Predicting the onset of AHE would be of clear benefit to a patie ...
