Design of a Program for Expert Diagnosis of Acid Base and Electrolyte Disturbances,

Abstract

This research develops the diagnostic component of an interactive system for providing expert advice for the diagnosis, therapy and ongoing management of patients with acid-base and electrolyte disturbances. We have developed a hierarchic representation of a patient's illness which unifies the known facts about the patients, their suspected interrelationships, the hypotheses and how hypotheses account for various known and hypothesized facts. An expectation driven problem solver based on the hypothesize and reformulate paradigm performs the diagnosis. (Author)
