Complicated inter-relationships Integrity – Common purpose
Biomedical Engineering Retreat Ithaca, NY 27 July 2007 The Surgical Patient is a System Components (Sub-systems) : Cardiovascular Metabolic Pulmonary Neurologic Renal Hematologic Gastro-intestinal Immunologic Large and complex. Complicated Inter-relationships Integrity. Common purpose: Recovery
Biomedical Engineering Retreat Ithaca, NY 27 July 2007 The Surgical Patient is a System Altered Normal Homeostasis. Threats of Operation (Injury) : Tissue Disruption Hemorrhage Ischemia / Hypoxia Acidosis Bacterial Contamination Transfusion Re-perfusion Hypothermia Complicated Inter-relationships. Integrity. Common purpose: Recovery
Biomedical Engineering Retreat Ithaca, NY 27 July 2007 Systems Analysis in Surgical Patients Task of Convalescent Care : Guide the patient through recovery. Systems Analysis : Gather and assemble performance data Analysis – Efficacy. Risk assessment. Decision making regarding intervention
Biomedical Engineering Retreat Ithaca, NY 27 July 2007 Systems Analysis in Surgical Patients Hypothesis : The care and treatment of ... patients is best done using numerical data in an orderly set of rules.
Biomedical Engineering Retreat Ithaca, NY 27 July 2007 Systems Analysis in Surgical Patients Data Sources : Events Vital signs Nurse observations MD observations Physiologic measures Lab data Special studies Imaging Analysis and Decision Making : Gathering data Multiple individuals Knowledge differences Efficiency
Biomedical Engineering Retreat Ithaca, NY 27 July 2007 Systems Analysis in Surgical Patients Interventions : Risk Assessment Lead time End point – Dose Feed back Issues : Time consuming Multiple steps Communication Incomplete data Error prone Delayed feed back Risks – All interventions / monitoring Opportunites :
Biomedical Engineering Retreat Ithaca, NY 27 July 2007 Systems Analysis – Opportunities More Complete Performance Data : For any / all compents (sub-systems) Cardiac performance (organ perfusion) Respiratory work / efficacy (gas exchange) Blood glucose Hematology / Immunology Wound healing Balance usefulness vs. invasiveness Less invasive is better.
Biomedical Engineering Retreat Ithaca, NY 27 July 2007 Systems Analysis – Opportunities More Timely Data : Point of care testing. Real time data More Efficient Decision Making Standardized patient care protocols.
