Exploring the clinical relevance of vital signs statistical calculations from a new-generation clinical information system.

ABSTRACT: New information on the intensive care applications of new generation 'high-density data clinical information systems' (HDDCIS) is increasingly being published in the academic literature. HDDCIS avoid data loss from bedside equipment and some provide vital signs statistical calculations to promote quick and easy evaluation of patient information. Our objective was to study whether manual records of continuously monitored vital signs in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit could be replaced by these statistical calculations. Here we conducted a prospective observational clinical study in paediatric patients with severe diabetic ketoacidosis, using a Medlinecare^® HDDCIS, which collects information from bedside equipment (1 data point per parameter, every 3-5 s) and automatically prov
