Predicting Renal Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery Using Intraoperative Renal Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Monitoring
This study shows that intraoperative monitoring of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) values and monitoring of critical thresholds may be an important tool in predicting the development of acute renal failure (ARF) and other... read more
Using AI to Detect and Treat Delirium
The prevention of delirium in ICU represents a major unmet need because of its high prevalence, under-diagnosis, and independent association with adverse outcomes including higher mortality and accelerated cognitive decline.... read more
Unsupervised Multi-modal ML Approach for Robust CPR Signal Denoising
The significance of denoising biomedical signals, particularly in crucial life-saving interventions like cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), cannot be overstated, as the accuracy and reliability of CPR data can be a matter... read more
Severe COVID-19 Early Identification and the Need for ICU Care Based on Objective Risk Factors
The study found that several factors, including advanced age; male gender; and comorbid conditions like diabetes, chronic lung disease, and CVD had a strong association with ICU admission among COVID-19 patients. Similarly,... read more
Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Markers Associated with Mortality in Critically Ill Patients
