Resumo
Monitoring vital signs in intensive care units (ICU) is an everyday activity of various
health professionals, including doctors, nurses, technicians and nursing assistants. In most
ICUs, monitoring and recording vital signs are performed in a manual fashion and in predefined
time instants. The records of measurements of vital signs in ICUs are generally
written on preprinted forms, and a health professional has to re-sort those forms when
he wants to get some information about the clinical state of a patient. Besides, when an
abnormal measurement of vital sign is detected, a multiparameter monitor triggers audible
alarms, and that alarm may not be prompted detected by the medical staff, depending on
the workflow within an ICU. In that sense, this work proposes a knowledge representation
model of monitoring of vital signs of patients in ICUs. The model proposed exploits
the expressiveness and the formality of ontologies, rules and semantic web technologies.
This promotes the consensual comprehension, the sharing and the reuse of vital signs of
patients. The aim is to develop context-aware applications for monitoring human vital
signs, including the storage, query support and semantic alarms triggering.
