SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING SEPTIC SHOCK

摘要

A method and a system for identifying when a subject is at an elevated risk for septic shock, comprising the steps of measuring a plurality of time varying physiological variables of the subject, providing the plurality of time varying physiological variables to a model, calculating, with the model, an output indicator based on the plurality of time varying physiological variables received by the model; and identifying that the subject is at an elevated risk for septic shock when the output indicator, provided by the model, exceeds a threshold value. The model uses variables that are normally collected from a subject during treatment to determine whether the subject may be progressing toward septic shock.
