Summary
3. Common types of illnesses in ICU
Respiratory Failure
The lungs remove carbon dioxide from the blood and
replenish the blood with oxygen. Respiratory failure
occurs when the lungs do not work well enough to
replenish blood with oxygen.
4. Common types of illnesses in ICU
Renal Failure
Failure of the kidneys to eliminate fluid and waste from
the patient’s body can be caused by many conditions.
If renal failure is severe, the patient may need to have
dialysis to take over the function of the kidneys.
5. Common types of illnesses in ICU
Hearth Failure
Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to provide
sufficient pump action to maintain blood flow to meet
the needs of the body.
6. The current methods of treatment
Respiratory failure
mechanical ventilation is a method to mechanically assist
or replace spontaneous breathing. This may involve a
machine called a ventilator which must be used by a
medical professional.
7. The current methods of treatment
Renal Failure
hemodialysis is a method that is used to achieve the
extracorporeal removal of waste products such as
creatinine and urea and free water from the blood
when the kidneys are in a state of renal failure.
8. The current methods of treatment
Hearth Failure
A ventricular assist device is a mechanical circulatory
device that is used to partially or completely replace the
function of a failing heart.
9. The limitation of the current treatments
With current methods, the examiner must constantly
check the variable patient condition to set the required
tuning parameters of medical devices in ICU repeatedly
to avoid harm to the body organs of the patient.
However, If the medical device be able to tune itself
automatically according to the condition of patient, the
efficiency of system increases and patient can leave the
ICU sooner.
10. The proposed method of treatment
in ICU
Open loop control of patient condition with examiner
supervision
11. The proposed method of treatment
in ICU
Closed loop control (Smart Module Control Unit) of
patient condition with out examiner supervision
12. Summary
ICU department faces many fatal illnesses.
Current treatments for ICU illness has a huge limitation
Requires constant monitoring and adjusting.
The proposed medical device increases the efficiency of
ICU by improving time, cost, and energy.
It will lower the rate of getting infection in ICU by limiting
the direct contact of hospital staff with patient
It Increases the level of health standard in hospitals
