The Role Of Computer Assisted Fluid Balance In Critical Care

Abstract

Computational, reporting, and data base management needs along with growth in sophistication have propelled the application of computers in medicine. These elements are satisfying specific clinical needs in the fluid balance program design that was undertaken. Significant potential exists for extending the computer's intervention by using available transducing techniques to obtain information that is currently manually derived. Thus, the design currently satisfies the goal of maximizing information while minimizing labor intensive overhead and will continue to evolve in that direction.
