Abstract
We describe a knowledge-based system that automatically controls the assistance provided to a patient suffering from respiratory failure. Our system works in a real-time closed-loop, taking physiological data from monitoring devices as inputs and acting on a ventilator connected to the patient. Our representation paradigm, based on object-orientation and production rules, is designed to support future extensions and refinements and to allow reusing of knowledge bases.
