Objective measurements of patient agitation in critical care using physiological signals and fuzzy systems
Agitation-sedation cycling in ICU patients is characterised by oscillations between states of agitation and over-sedation. This cycling damages health and increases both length of stay and health care cost. A mathematical model that quantifies agitation is developed to achieve an agitation-feedback...
