Prototype predictors for threshold violation and SIRS have been developed and their performance evaluated over a small data-set. Initial results appear very impressive. The impact of the high false alarm rate associated with the SIRS predictor can be significantly reduced by further work and extending the intelligent alarm to account for another physiological parameter. Time limitations have resulted in a limited data set, which has prevented a more thorough clinical study of the performance of each intelligent alarm. The main recommendation arising directly from the conclusions drawn above is that the study should be continued with a view to establishing a complete assessment of the performance of the intelligent alarms in a live critical care arena. This would require accumulation of further physiological and clinical intervention data in order to develop the alarms prior to the clinical assessment phase.
