Abstract

The clinical treatment of sepsis is one of most severe issues in hospitals. Unfortunately, until now it has not been possible to significantly reduce the mortality rate of severe forms of sepsis like septic shock, which is as high as 50-60% worldwide. Often, the diagnosis and awareness for possible implications of sepsis can be facilitated by an automated online diagnosis. This contribution reports the development of a monitoring alarm system for the individual prediction of death based on the data of 382 patients with septic shock. The paper discusses the pros and cons of such a prediction system used in a medical environment, its principal usage issues and implementation.
