MULTI-YARIABLE PATTERN REPRESENTATION DISPLAY SYSTEM for ASSESMENT of CIRCULATORY ASSIST

Abstract

Multi-variable pattern representation (Rader Chart) display progrm has been developed, implemented and tested far circulatory assist with commercial based computerized patient monitoring system. Up to six parameters can be displayed as a vriety of hexagon. To assess the performance and effectiveness of circulatory assist, mean LAP, TTI, mean systolic pressure, total perfusion flow, peripheral resistance and stroke work are calculated. This program is confirmed to work correctly by entering parameters derived during circulatory assist actually perfomed in the past. With this study, the system has been suggested to be usefull for selection of the optimal assist method among various methods, such as IABP, VAB, IABP+VAB and AAB.
