Object oriented implementation of an architecture for patient monitoring

Abstract

The authors present a modular approach to multivariate patient monitoring implemented by object-oriented methods. The modular approach and a common object-oriented programming language, C++, were chosen to make the application portable and easy to develop and extend. A physiological model of the patient was applied for estimating the patient state. The architecture presented has been designed for patient monitoring during anesthesia and intensive care.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
