Categorization in Mechanically Ventilated Pediatric Subjects: A Proposed Method to Improve Quality

Abstract

We demonstrate the first patient categorization system utilizing a coordinated data-banking system and analytics to determine patient status and a surveillance of mechanical ventilation quality. Further research is needed to determine whether interventions such as visual display of variance from goal and patient categorization summaries can improve outcomes.
