    A bedside computer program aids medical staff in Surgical Intensive Care Units (SICUs) by managing ventilator requirements, reducing lab tests, and improving patient care planning through data trending.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Surgical Patient Management

    Background:

    • Increasing availability of user-friendly computers in healthcare settings.
    • Surgical Intensive Care Units (SICUs) require frequent management and recording of numerous patient data points.
    • Need for efficient data management and trending to support clinical decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a computer program designed to assist medical staff in SICUs.
    • To assess the program's impact on managing ventilator requirements and laboratory testing.
    • To determine the utility of bedside computers in trending patient information for care planning.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a computer program (A.S.) at Palo Alto Veterans Hospital.

  • Implementation of the program to adjust ventilator requirements.
  • Evaluation of the program's effectiveness in a cohort of twenty surgical patients.

    • Main Results:

    • The bedside computer program facilitated the management of ventilator requirements.
    • A reduction in the need for laboratory studies, such as blood gas determinations, was observed.
    • Trending of patient information was enhanced, aiding in the development of care plans.

    Conclusions:

    • Bedside computer programs can effectively support medical staff in SICUs.
    • Automation of tasks like ventilator management can lead to decreased laboratory utilization.
    • Improved data trending through computer systems is crucial for optimizing patient care strategies.
