- the said memory unit (7) where the individual limit values for each patient are predefined according to the patient's history,
- said control unit (2) which provides generation of an alert by the alert unit (4) when at least one parameter is outside the predefined relevant value i.e. customized limit values for that individual patient, thus generating a customized i.e. individualized alert depending on the patient history and specific diagnosis of the patient wherein the control unit (2) checks the following parameters before generation of an alert:
- checking instantaneously of the monitoring data, which belongs to that patient, and which are received from connected units (3) such as HR (heart rate), SAP (systolic arterial pressure), MAP (Mean arterial pressure), DAP (diastolic arterial pressure),
- checking instantaneously of all ventilator data, which belongs to that patient, and which are received from connected units (3), such as Oxygen, FIO2 (Fraction of inspired oxygen), Peep (Positive End Expiratory Pressure),
- checking instantaneously of all blood gas data (example:
- pO2 (partial pressure of oxygen, 20pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide), belonging to that patient, if blood gas measurement data is received from a connected unit (3),
- checking instantaneously of all laboratory data, belonging to that patient, entered into the system (1) (Example:
- ALT (Alanine aminotransferases), APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time), CRP (C-reactive protein) and LIS (Laboratory-Internal Sphincterotomy),
- checking instantaneously of all medical staff reports, belonging to the patient, entered instantaneously in the system (1) following clinical examination of that patient;
- monitoring instantaneously of predefined normal limit values that are customized for thate patient with respect to blood pressure, heart rate (HR), systolic artery pressure (SAP), etc. wherein the normal limit values are unique for each patient;
- checking instantaneously of all patient parameters;
- and also characterized by;
- an alert unit (4) generating differentiated alerts from each other for each parameter to allow the medical staff (e.g. physician) to understand the patient's current problem;
- and a communication unit (5), informing the medical staff of such alert(s), and configured such that it allows the medical staff to select a method of treatment or change the treatment method or to implement a different treatment in accordance with the respective alerts,
- and the above-mentioned control unit (2) thereby instantly updates the course of treatment and ensure the recommendation and execution of a new treatment method (i.e., treatment or treatment set) via such instant alert or alerts.

14, A treatment selection recommendation method (100), to be implemented in the system (1) comprising the following steps;
- Recording in the memory unit (7) of the system (1) of the patient-specific values, i.e. the normal limit values of the patient such as blood pressure, heart rate (HR) systolic arterial pressure (SAP), etc., which are different for each person, via entering these values with the input unit (6) (101),
- Providing monitor integration via instant transfer of all patient monitor data, HR (heart rate), SAP (Systolic Arterial Pressure), MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure), DAP (Diastolic Arterial Pressure) etc.) to the system (1) (102),
- Providing ventilator integration via instant transfer of patient's all ventilator data (i.e. Oxygen, FiO2 (Fraction of inspired Oxygen), Peep (Positive End Expiratory Pressure), etc.) to the system (1) and recording in system (1) memory unit (7) (103),
- Providing (104) Blood Gas Device integration via transmission of all blood gas data (i.e. pO2 (partial pressure of oxygen), pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide), etc.) of the patient to the system (1) instantly upon completion of measurement and recording in the memory unit (7) in case of blood gas is measured (104),
- Providing integration of LIS (Laboratory-Internal Sphincterotomy) via transferring of all laboratory data (i.e. ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase), APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time), CRP (C-Reactive Protein) etc.) of the patient to the system (1) instantly upon attainment of laboratory results and recording in the system (1) memory (7) (105),
- Ensuring the medical staff attending the patient (i.e. nurse) to fill out the forms with the data comprising the patient's current condition, neurological evaluation, pain management, infection, extracorporeal, wound care, physical examination findings via utilizing the input unit (6) to enter such data in the system (1) and recording of such forms in the system (1), memory (7), thus creating the medical staff monitoring forms (106),
- Continuously controlling of the data received from devices connected to the patient, the medical staff monitoring forms filled out by medical staff and all parameters relevant to the patient's health by the control unit (2) and generation of an alert by the control unit (2) when at least one parameter is outside the predefined values, i.e., the normal limit values specific to the patient (107),
- Generation of an alert type (written and/or visual and/or audible) by the control unit (2) in a varied form for each parameter to allow the medical staff (i.e. the physician) to understand the patient's current condition (108),
- Notifying the physician of current alert(s) through the communication unit (5) to ensure an order for a new treatment relevant to the alert is created and therefore, instant updating of treatment regimen via generation of instant alert or alert is provided and so, implementation of new treatment method (i.e. treatment or treatment set) is provided (109),
- Continuation of patient's routine treatment in the absence of at least one alert (110).

The method according to claim 14, wherein the control unit (2), considers the patient's age, gender, previous diseases and current condition, i.e., current parameters, medical history and epicrisis details and any previously triggered alerts and takes into account all these criterions in calculation when determining routine treatment method or new treatment method in step 107.
A sensitivity analysis method (200) to be implemented in a system (1) comprising the following steps:
- Analysis of the patient's condition using the selection method (100) and selection and administration of the suitable treatment (201),
- Checking for any side effects of the selected medication and its dosage in the patient after administration (202),
- If any side effects are present, identification of the side effects, and recording the medication and dosage causing this side effect with a predefined negative score in the database (8) (203),
- If the selected medication and dosage had no side effects, sending the relevant physician a notice via the communication unit (5) to rate the patient's degree of recovery in a predefined scale in relation to the selected medication and dosage, allowing the physician to enter a report containing the score into the system (1) (204),
- Following receipt of the physician's recovery score, associating the patient's previously recorded age, gender, previous diseases and current physician's report with the patient's current condition in the database (8) (205),
- Depending on the alerts created in the next treatment selection method (100) and if similar patient parameters are achieved (e.g. two of the following parameters:
- “are the new patient's history of illnesses the same as or similar to the previous patient's history”, “is the age or gender the same or similar”), the control unit (2) recommends at least one high-scoring treatment method to the medical staff (e.g., physician) (206),
- When recommending a high-scoring treatment method, the control unit (2) determines the number of patients considered in the scoring and the time elapsed for the scored treatments and notifies such information to the medical staff via the communication unit (5) (207),
- The recommendation is provided in audible, written, visual media or by other method and by using a communication unit (5) suitable for such method (208),
- The physician is allowed to select and/or change and/or design a new treatment via a communication unit (5) configured in such a way that it enables the selection of high-scoring treatments or modification ofying the treatment, where necessary, or administration of a different treatment in the system (1) (209),
