Abstract:
:While there have been considerable advances in the last several years in the nutritional management of the critically ill, these improvements are not always recognized in intensive care environments. In this paper we describe the development and testing of an expert system, NUTRITIONAL ADVISOR, which would be be an aid in providing nutritional assessment and support of critically ill patients. We discuss various approaches to treating time-varying data in the knowledge base in order to provide a recommended level of nutritional support which varies smoothly from day to day.
