ABICUS: ABerdeen Intensive Care Unit System.
Specialised ICUs have improved the care of the critically ill patient, but in doing so produce a deluge of patient data. Microprocessor based systems can optimise both collection and efficient utilisation of such data. In Aberdeen we have developed a general ICU shell which is portable and can be configured to individual ICU needs. The following article describes the Aberdeen ICU System built around this shell.
