We developed a knowledge–based system, VIE–VENT, for monitoring and therapy planning of artificially ventilated newborn infants. One of our aims was to implement clinical and textbook knowledge in VIE–VENT's knowledge base. Therapy planning is based on a combination of transcutaneous and invasively determined blood gas measurements and clinical observations. After the selection and validation of appropriate parameters, these data are transformed into qualitative values. These are used in our model of neonatal respiration for recommending therapeutic actions according to heuristic clinical rules of artificial ventilation. For the weaning process we implemented three possible strategies, which allow adapting different dynamics of weaning (conservative, normal, aggressive).
VIE–VENT is specifically designed for practical use under real–time constraints in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs).
