Abstract
ESTER is an expert system in which the most widely accepted criteria are systematically utilized to supply advice to the clinician who has to prescribe a respiratory therapy regime suited to the needs of the patient. After effecting a preliminary prognosis of the patient´s condition, ESTER asks for certain physiological parameters to be keyed in. Analysis of these parameters reveals the patient´s condition and allows a recommended respiratory therapy to be designed.
