We propose a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture for computing a Compensatory Reserve Metric (CRM) for trauma victims suffering from hypovolemia (decreased circulating blood volume). The CRM is a single health indicator value that ranges from 100% for healthy individuals, down to 0% at hemodynamic decompensationwhen the body can no longer compensate for blood loss. The CNN is trained on 20 second blood pressure waveform segments obtained from a finger-cuff monitor of 194 subjects. The model accurately predicts CRM when tested on data from 22 additional human subjects obtained from Lower Body Negative Pressure (LBNP) emulation of hemorrhage, attaining a mean squared error (MSE) of 0.0238 over the full range of values, including those from subjects with both low and high tolerance to central hypovolemia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
