Abstract:
Patients in the intensive care units always require a close caring from the medical staffs, especially patients who just have a brain surgery. The postoperative brain surgery patients can be counted as a critical patient group because they need to have a close monitor for at least 24 hours. However, the number of medical staffs presently is inadequate when comparing with the number of patients. Therefore, this paper proposed an automated monitoring and analyzing pain system, MAPS, to monitor postoperative brain surgery patients and to analyze their symptom after operations without any guidance from nurses. The output from this system is the warning message to the responsible nurses so that they can provide a suitable treatment to the patient in time. The expected outcome of this research is that the postoperative mortality rate can be reduced because fast treatment can be granted to the patients promptly.
