RESUMO
A code blue event is an emergency code to indicate when a patient goes into cardiac arrest and needs resuscitation. In this paper, we model the binary response of a intensive care unit (ICU) patients experiencing a code-blue event, starting with vital time-series data of patients in 12 ICU beds. Our study introduces day-of and day-ahead risk scoring models trained against ground truth information on per-patient-per-day code-blue events, starting with multi-variate vital-time-series-sequences of varying durations with a plurality of engineered features capturing temporal variations of these signals. Actionable events, including code-blue events, aggregated by patient by day were predicted on the day-of or day-ahead with an overall accuracy of over 80% in our best models. Such models have potential to improve healthcare delivery by providing just-in-time alerting, enabling proactive and preventative clinical interventions, through continuous patient monitoring.
