Enhancing ICU Outcomes Through Intelligent Monitoring Systems: A Comparative Study on Ventilator-Associated Events.

Using intelligent monitoring systems can potentially improve the identification and management of ventilator-associated events (VAEs). This single-center retrospective observational study evaluated the impact of implementing intelligent monitoring systems on the clinical outcomes of patients with VAEs in an ICU setting. An intelligent VAE monitoring system was integrated into electronic medical records to continuously collect patient data and alert attending physicians when a ventilated patient met the criteria for a ventilator-associated condition, which was defined as an increase of at least three cm HO in positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), an increase of at least 0.
