Abstract
Described herein are devices, systems, and methods used to assess an organ or organ system and determine a course of treatment for said organ, organ system, and/or patient.
Claims21
A method of treating a patient, the method comprising:
- obtaining, in a processor, a plurality of measurements comprising demand parameters and capacity parameters that are related to a plurality of organs of the patient;
- determining, via the processor, (i) an organ demand score for each of the plurality of organs based on demand parameters that reflect the demand placed by each organ on the remaining organs and (ii) an organ capacity score specific to each of the plurality of organs based on capacity parameters comprising functional elements required for homeostasis of each organ;
- identifying an organ at risk of failure from the plurality of organs based on a mismatch between the organ demand score for the organ at risk and the organ capacity score for the organ at risk by calculating, via the processor, a demand-capacity probability score;
- causing, via the processor, information to be displayed on a display screen that is indicative that the patient has organ failure and needs intervention when the demand-capacity probability score of the organ at risk is in a target range;
- and
- providing for, via the processor, an administration of organ support to the organ at risk in the patient.

An apparatus that provides for a determination of organ intervention treatment for a patient, the apparatus comprising:
- an interface configured to receive a plurality of measurements comprising demand and capacity parameters that are related to a plurality of organs of the patient;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the interface and configured to:
- determine (i) an organ demand score for each of the plurality of organs based on demand parameters that reflect the demand placed by each organ on the remaining organs and (i) an organ capacity score for specific to each of the plurality of organs based on capacity parameters comprising functional elements required for homeostasis for each organ;
- identify the probability an organ at risk of failure from the plurality of organs based on a mismatch between the organ demand score for the organ at risk and the organ capacity score for the organ at risk by calculating, via the processor, a demand-capacity probability score;
- cause information to be displayed on a display screen indicative that the patient needs intervention based on the demand-capacity probability score;
- and
- cause an administration of organ support to the organ at risk in the patient when the demand-capacity probability score is in a target range or cause organ support to the organ at risk in the patient to be terminated when the demand-capacity score is above or below the target range.
