SYSTEM FOR LABORATORY VALUES AUTOMATED ANALYSIS AND RISK NOTIFICATION IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

摘要

In a risk level assessment method for a plurality of clinical conditions as follows a set of laboratory test results (32) are stored with time stamps for a patient including at least one hematology test result and at least one arterial blood gas (ABG) test result. For each clinical condition a risk level is determined for the clinical condition based on a clinical condition specific sub set of the stored set of laboratory test results. This determination is made conditional on the stored clinical condition specific sub set of laboratory test results being sufficient to determine the risk level. A time stamp is assigned to each determined risk level based on the time stamps for the laboratory test results of the clinical condition specific sub set of laboratory test results. A display device (44 46) displays the determined risk level and the assigned time stamp for each clinical condition whose determined risk level satisfies a display criterion.
