Introduction Previously… Systematic review from 2001 Artificial intelligence applications in the intensive care unit[1] We found important to review once more the progresses in this subject as it’s rapidly evolving. We’ve concluded that this study was more a state of the art than an Systematic Review and knowing that we’ve decided to search articles with no date restriction [1] Hanson CW 3rd, Marshall BE; Artificial intelligence applications in the intensive care unit; Critical care medicine; 2001 Feb; 29 (2); 427-35 Turma 6 6fmup0910@gmail.com Professor Doutor Altamiro Pereira 18-05-2010
Introduction AI: Definition Artificial intelligence can be defined as a field of science and engineering concerned with the computational understanding of what is commonly called intelligent behaviour, and with the creation of artefacts that exhibit such behaviour [2]. Intensive Care Unit: Definition An intensive care unit (ICU) is a specialized department in hospitals that provides life support or organ support systems in patients who are critically ill and who usually require constant monitoring. Critical Care: Definition Critical care is the permanent and thorough care provided to the critical patients in intensive care units (ICUs).

Introduction AI and ICU • Intensive care medicine frequently involves making rapid decisions on the basis of a large and disparate array of information [3]. • Since the technology of monitoring astronauts’ vital signs in space was transferred to the bedside in the 1960s, patient monitoring systems have become an indispensable part of critical care [4].

Young; Applying Fuzzy Logic to Medical Decision Making in the Intensive Care Unit; 2003 Apr [4] Ying Zhang, MEng Real-Time Development of Patient-Specific Alarm Algorithms; Proceedings of the 29th Annual International; Conference of the IEEE EMBS; Cité Internationale, Lyon, France August 23-26, 2007 Turma 6 6fmup0910@gmail.com Professor Doutor Altamiro Pereira 18-05-2010
Introduction Intensive care unit (ICU) is a hospital unit staffed and equipped to provide intensive monitoring closely for a critical medical condition 5. The bedside data must be extracted and organized to become useful information for clinical decisions . In ICU the amount of data makes its integration and interpretation time-consuming and inefficient[5]. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are pointed as a direction to follow for the development of patient care.

Introduction Development of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine Development of AI programs intended to: - help the clinician in the formulation of a diagnosis; - help the clinician in making of therapeutic decisions; - helping prediction outcome. AI in medicine is designed to support healthcare workers in their every day duties, assisting with tasks that rely on the manipulation of data and knowledge[6].

Introduction Modern intensive care units (ICUs) employ an impressive array of technologically sophisticated instrumentation to provide detailed measurements of the pathophysiological state of each patient [5], [7]. Such systems can: - Reduce the problem of information overload, - Providing alarms more specific than today’s single-variable limit alarms, - Decrease healthcare cost in ICU, (…) Such systems include: - Artificial neural networks (ANNs), • Fuzzy expert systems, • Evolutionary computation and hybrid intelligent systems.

Results Merouani2008 [8] • It’s a decision/prescription support system articles. In this study, the objective was to test if infusion rates of norepinephrine controled by a closed-loop fuzzy logic system would reduce the duration of septic shock • Duration of shock proved to be significantly shorter (P < 0.001) in the fuzzy group than in the control group. The total amount of norepinephrine infused was significantly lower (P < 0.01) in the fuzzy group than in the control group. This resulted in a lower total dose being administered and is related with a shorter duration of septic shock, although no statistical corroboration was provided in the article. Turma 6 6fmup0910@gmail.com Professor Doutor Altamiro Pereira 18-05-2010
Results Merouani2008 • Moreover, it was shown that the fuzzy logic group showed advantages regarding the mean arterial blood presure (MAP). The patient's MAP slowly oscillates around the target value set by the intensivist in the fuzzy group, while in the control patients it tended to drift, with more marked amplitudes. Turma 6 6fmup0910@gmail.com Professor Doutor Altamiro Pereira 18-05-2010
Results Dazzy2001 [9] • Fuzzy logic is the base of a monitoring system. Fuzzy logic principles and neural network techniques were applied to control intravenous insulin administration rates during glucose infusion in critical diabetic patient. • The results showed that the neuro-fuzzy nomogram allowed a faster decrease of blood glucose (BG) levels below 10 mmol/l (A:7.8 vs. B: 13.2 h; P < .02). Turma 6 6fmup0910@gmail.com Professor Doutor Altamiro Pereira 18-05-2010
Results Dazzy2001 • It also allowed to reach and maintain a strict control condition around a specific point (6.7 mM/l) as safely as the old one did around a larger glycemic target (between 6.7 and 10 mM/l); P < .0001. • Also, it was concluded that this nomogram can be efficiently and safely used to reach faster and to maintain a near normal BG level in critically ill diabetic patients during intravenous glucose and insulin infusion.

Results Ying1992 [10] • It’s a fuzzy logic-monitoring study. It uses a fuzzy control system to provide closed-loop control of mean arterial pressure (MAP) in post-surgical patients in a cardiac surgical intensive care unit setting by regulating sodium nitroprusside (SNP) infusion. • To evaluate the ability of the fuzzy control system handling the patients with different sensitivity, computer simulation was conducted. Turma 6 6fmup0910@gmail.com Professor Doutor Altamiro Pereira 18-05-2010
Results Ying1992 • It showed that the clinically fine-tuned fuzzy control SNP system could adapt to a wide range of patient sensitivity, from the sensitive patients (K = -2.88) to the insensitive patients (K = -0.18), a ratio of 16: 1. • MAP is tightly controlled around the desired MAP level. The results of the clinical trials on 12 patients revealed that the performance of the fuzzy control SNP delivery system was clinically acceptable.

Results Huang2006 [11] • Uses fuzzy logic control to provide continuous propofol sedation in order to reduce the effect of agitation on intracranial pressure (ICP) in neurosurgical intensive care unit patients. Fuzzy logic is used on monitoring patients. • The results show that for mean and RMSD (root mean square deviation) of ICP errors, the values of SOFLC group were significantly lower than those of RBC (rule-based controller) and FLC (fuzzy logic controller) groups (P < 0.05), but the values of the RBC and FLC groups showed no significant difference. Turma 6 6fmup0910@gmail.com Professor Doutor Altamiro Pereira 18-05-2010
Results Huang2006 • It is also concluded that FLC can easily mimic the rule-base of human experts to achieve stable sedation similar to the RBC group. • Furthermore, the results also show that a SOFLC (self-organizing fuzzy logic controller) can provide more stable sedation of ICP pattern because it can modify the fuzzy rule-base to compensate for inter-patient variations.

Results Denai2009 [12] • This study used a fuzzy logic control system on a clinical decision support system (CDSS) in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). • The study used a model that was able to reproduce conditions experienced by 7 post operative cardiac surgery patients (hypertension, hypovolemia, vasodilation, systemic inflammatory response system (SIRS)) and Simulated patient scenarios were developed in collaboration with the expert/study anesthetist (3rd author) to reproduce a range of pathophysiological conditions resembling those observed in post-cardiac surgery patients. Turma 6 6fmup0910@gmail.com Professor Doutor Altamiro Pereira 18-05-2010
Results Denai2009 • All in all, the interventions in this study resulted in a good control of the. Therefore, the preliminary simulation studies showed good feasibility for the application of CDSS for controlling the patients’ cardiovascular system following surgery in a real ICU. • The results demonstrated steady-state performances of the fuzzy rule-based controller for the range of hypertension considered. It was also demonstrated that the multi-drug fuzzy controller produced good responses and target tracking with acceptable overshoots in the MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure). Aditionnaly, as shown in the figure, the other hemodynamic parameters reached reasonable final values. Turma 6 6fmup0910@gmail.com Professor Doutor Altamiro Pereira 18-05-2010
Discussion The review of the 5 articles found in our research showed us that the results of the clinical trials we’ve found about this specific subject were considered to be positive by the authors. Our results show us that this is an area of medical interest that can be successfully used in the care of critical care patients from several areas of the intensive care units. The articles found reported clinical trials in which the use of the fuzzy logic systems reached better results than the non Artificial Intelligence systems and in many cases with statistically significant results. Turma 6 6fmup0910@gmail.com Professor Doutor Altamiro Pereira 18-05-2010
Discussion The results of Denai et al and Merouani et al showed that the use of clinical decision support systems in the ICU can be positive, and regarding that it should be seen as a way of fighting the growing difficulty found by clinicians and other medical staff to make fast decisions base on a great amount of information. The articles written by Ying et al, Huang et al and Dazzy et al, although with different domains of application, show a very positive response in the use of AI-systems in monitoring. These systems can represent a large benefit in the ICUs either in the decrease of errors [15], the better adaptation to each particular patient or even in the maintaining of a strict control of outcomes such as glucose levels [17].

Discussion About the articles included we can also say that all of them used fuzzy logic and that the majority of them were used in monitoring. The domain of applications of the studies found was also something that concerned us from the beginning and in the articles included the domains where artificial intelligence systems were used were cardiac intensive care [16][19], insulin administration[17], neurosurgical intensive care[15] and also in the control of septic shock[18].

Discussion In the areas and domains of application in which AI systems, in these cases fuzzy-logic, were studied, evidence showed that it can be used efficiently and safely. Although the results obtained by our research were not sufficient to state that the use of Artificial Intelligence systems in the intensive care units is benefitial in every single aspect, it seems to us that there is a need to go further on this subject as it might represent a good breakthrough to enhance the quality and efficiency of the treatment provided to Intensive Care Units’ patients.
