Abstract
Intensive care units are designed to sustain the lives of the people being treated within them. However, often treatment decisions are made on a second by second basis and warning signs for other developing problems are missed. This paper describes a system which uses a multi-layer perceptron network to detect the deterioration in respiratory function of neonates who require artificial ventilation. It presents some results from the system and discusses the implications of using such a system in its current form.
