Martinez woke up in the ICU. The rapid AI diagnosis of his aortic dissection had allowed a fast transition to cardiothoracic surgery, likely saving his life. But he wasn’t out of the woods. Martinez’s recovery would depend on diligent care from the ICU nurses and physicians. Fortunately, the team working with Martinez had several AI tools to help with these tasks. A system developed by the Boston-based firm Etiometry displayed all the crucial data—vital signs, medications, fluid levels, and more—on a single screen at his bedside.… Read the full article: City Journal- Is AI the RX for U.S. Health Care?

How Documentation, Length of Stay and Capacity Shape Cardiac Surgery Margins
What four years of CABG data from one cardiothoracic ICU suggest about each. Most patients recover from coronary artery bypass grafting along a familiar path: extubation, vasoactive weaning, transfer to the floor, discharge. For some, the postoperative course brings respiratory failure, acute kidney injury or cardiogenic shock. Those complications shape the patient’s recovery, and they […]
What Continuous Physiologic Data Reveals About Cardiogenic Shock
A retrospective analysis compared cardiogenic shock staging built from charted values with staging built from continuous data. The differences were clinically meaningful. In one patient’s record from the analysis, the chart shows a mean arterial pressure of 71 mmHg, and an hour later, 66 mmHg. Read on their own, the two values suggest a patient […]

In a busy cardiac ICU, cardiogenic shock is often managed before it is named. Pressors are titrated, labs are trended and the team responds to what the patient’s physiology is telling them. But the […]
