Computer aided interpretation of acid-base disorders.
This paper describes an expert system for the interpretation of acid-base disorders. The target users are residents in training in internal medicine, anaesthesia and intensive care medicine. The program is written in PROLOG and runs on a SUN 3/160 minicomputer. Evaluation of a learning set (N = 202) and a test set (N = 194) has proved that the system's accuracy is acceptable. As a result, the program has recently been put in routine clinical practice.
