ALARM monitoring system (synthetic) data set

Description

The ALARM ("A Logical Alarm Reduction Mechanism") is a Bayesian network designed to provide an alarm message system for patient monitoring.

Usage

data(alarm)

Format

The alarm data set contains the following 37 variables:

• CVP (central venous pressure): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• PCWP (pulmonary capillary wedge pressure): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• HIST (history): a two-level factor with levels TRUE and FALSE.

• TPR (total peripheral resistance): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• BP (blood pressure): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• CO (cardiac output): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• HRBP (heart rate / blood pressure): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• HREK (heart rate measured by an EKG monitor): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• HRSA (heart rate / oxygen saturation): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• PAP (pulmonary artery pressure): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• SAO2 (arterial oxygen saturation): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• FIO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen): a two-level factor with levels LOW and NORMAL.

• PRSS (breathing pressure): a four-level factor with levels ZERO, LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• ECO2 (expelled CO2): a four-level factor with levels ZERO, LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• MINV (minimum volume): a four-level factor with levels ZERO, LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• MVS (minimum volume set): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• HYP (hypovolemia): a two-level factor with levels TRUE and FALSE.

• LVF (left ventricular failure): a two-level factor with levels TRUE and FALSE.

• APL (anaphylaxis): a two-level factor with levels TRUE and FALSE.

• ANES (insufficient anesthesia/analgesia): a two-level factor with levels TRUE and FALSE.

• PMB (pulmonary embolus): a two-level factor with levels TRUE and FALSE.

• INT (intubation): a three-level factor with levels NORMAL, ESOPHAGEAL and ONESIDED.

• KINK (kinked tube): a two-level factor with levels TRUE and FALSE.

• DISC (disconnection): a two-level factor with levels TRUE and FALSE.

• LVV (left ventricular end-diastolic volume): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• STKV (stroke volume): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• CCHL (catecholamine): a two-level factor with levels NORMAL and HIGH.

• ERLO (error low output): a two-level factor with levels TRUE and FALSE.

• HR (heart rate): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• ERCA (electrocauter): a two-level factor with levels TRUE and FALSE.

• SHNT (shunt): a two-level factor with levels NORMAL and HIGH.

• PVS (pulmonary venous oxygen saturation): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• ACO2 (arterial CO2): a three-level factor with levels LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• VALV (pulmonary alveoli ventilation): a four-level factor with levels ZERO, LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.

• VLNG (lung ventilation): a four-level factor with levels ZERO, LOW, NORMAL and HIGH.
