Abstract :
The authors describe PATRICIA, an intelligent monitoring system designed to advise clinicians in the management of patients dependent on mechanical ventilation. PATRICIA incorporates a patient-oriented symbolic approach for representing knowledge and a symbolic-oriented temporal approach for the intelligent control of the monitoring process. The results and methodology used in the validation of PATRICIA are presented. Preliminary results show that PATRICIA could be a useful tool for the management of patients receiving mechanical ventilatory support.<>
