  1. 1. Predicting True Sepsis and Culture-positive Sepsis in Intensive Care Unit with Machine Learning Techniques

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Zeyuan Wu; [2024]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Diagnosis of Sepsis; XGBoost; Logistic Regression; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Sepsis, a serious medical condition often leading to patients requiring intensive care, has prompted numerous scientists to employ mathematical techniques to aid in its diagnosis. This thesis uses logistic regression and a machine learning technique, XGBoost, to predict true sepsis (as opposed to sepsis mimics) and culture-positive sepsis (among true sepsis) in critical care using blood test results, physiological measurements and other patient characteristics.

  3. 2. The effect of a daily sedation interruption on the intensive care unit

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Tara Hjerpe; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Daily sedation interruptions (DSI) are performed within intensive care units worldwide and are thought to reduce delirium and shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation. However, there is conflicting evidence to suggest otherwise. READ MORE

  4. 3. Straight to the Heart : Classification of Multi-Channel ECG-signals using MiniROCKET

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Stefan Christiansson; [2023]
    Keywords : MiniROCKET; Time-series analysis; Multi-variate; Classification; Convolutional Neural Network; MiniROCKET; Tidsserieanalys; Multivariat; Klassifikation; Convolutional Neural Network;

    Abstract : Machine Learning (ML) has revolutionized various domains, with biomedicine standing out as a major beneficiary. In the realm of biomedicine, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have notably played a pivotal role since their inception, particularly in applications such as time-series classification. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of a tool for analysis and visualization of longitudinal magnetic resonance flowmeasurements : of subarachnoid hemorrhage patients in the neurointensivecare unit

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : ILDI ADOK; [2023]
    Keywords : 2D phase contrast MRI; subarachnoid hemorrhage; cerebral blood flow; visualization; neurointensive care;

    Abstract : Patients who are treated in an intensive care unit need continuous monitoring in orderfor clinicians to be prepared to intervene should a secondary event occur. For patientstreated at the neurointensive care unit (NICU) who have suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) this secondary event could be ischemia, resulting in a lack of blood flow. READ MORE

  6. 5. Early Detection and Differentiation of Circulatory Shock in the Intensive Care Unit using Machine Learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Therese Lindberg; [2022]
    Keywords : machine learning; prediction; circulatory shock; intensive care unit; ICU;

    Abstract : In the intensive care unit, patients with crucial, life-threatening conditions are admitted and need constant monitoring. Here, the need for a quick and efficient decision support tool is the greatest. READ MORE
