Artificial intelligence-based model for automatic real-time and noninvasive estimation of blood potassium levels in pediatric patients.

Background: An abnormal variation in blood electrolytes, such as potassium, contributes to mortality in children admitted to intensive care units. Continuous and real-time monitoring of potassium serum levels can prevent fatal arrhythmias, but this is not currently practical. The study aims to use machine learning to estimate blood potassium levels with accuracy in real time noninvasively.
