    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate interpretation of arterial blood gas (ABG) results is critical for patient management in operating rooms and intensive care units.
    • Manual ABG analysis is time-consuming and susceptible to calculation errors, potentially impacting clinical decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a computer system for automated interpretation of arterial blood gas results.
    • To reduce the incidence of errors associated with manual ABG interpretation.
    • To provide data for subsequent programs to determine optimal ventilation parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • A computer system comprising two BASIC programs was developed.
    • The system employs a decision-making process for result interpretation.
    • One program, the 'Interpreter,' analyzes ABG data.

    Main Results:

    • The developed computer system automates the interpretation of arterial blood gas results.
    • The system is designed to minimize errors inherent in manual calculations.
    • The output data from the 'Interpreter' program can be utilized by a 'Manager' program.

    Conclusions:

    • The computer system offers a reliable solution for rapid and accurate ABG interpretation.
    • Automation of ABG analysis enhances efficiency and safety in critical care environments.
    • The system facilitates data-driven adjustments to ventilation parameters, optimizing patient care.
