Reducing False Arrhythmia Alarms of Patient Monitoring Systems in Intensive Care Units Yanar, Erdem; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2017-01-01) Generally in hospitals, intensive care units (ICUs) have high rates of false arrhythmia alarms independent of their brands and prices. These falsely issued alarms disrupt patients' rest, drain hospital resources, and desensitize the hospital staff to potential emergency situations, which is named as "false alarm fatigue". It has been estimated that 43% of life threatening electrocardiogram (ECG) alarms issued by bedside monitors are false, with some categories of alarm being as high as 90%. In our study, we...
Reducing earthquake-related fears in victim and nonvictim children Karairmak, Oezlem; Aydin, Gul (Informa UK Limited, 2008-06-01) In this study, the authors investigated the fears of earthquake victim and nonvictim elementary school students and the effectiveness of an activity-based cognitive fear reduction (ABCF) procedure developed by the authors. To measure fear, the authors collected data from 266 participants using a modified version of the Fear Survey Schedule for Children (FSSC; W. Yule, O. Udwin, & K. Murdoch, 1990). Results demonstrated that earthquake victim children were more fearful on 2 subtests of the FSSC than were non...
Reduction of false arrhythmia alarms on patient monitoring systems in intensive care units by using fuzzy logic algorithms Yanar, Erdem; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Generally in hospitals, monitoring devices in the intensive care units (ICU) have high rates of false arrhythmia alarms independent of their brands and prices. These falsely issued alarms have financial and physiological effects such as redundant usage of hospital resources and hassling patients’ rest, reducing sensitivity of the hospital staff to potential emergency cases, which is named as “false alarm fatigue”. According to Deshmane et al. (2009), 43% of arrhythmia alarms in ICUs are false. Moreover, Thi...
Prevention of sidewall redeposition of etched byproducts in the dry Au etch process Aydemir, A.; Akın, Tayfun (IOP Publishing, 2012-07-01) In this paper we present a new technique of etching thin Au film in a dual frequency inductively coupled plasma (ICP) system on Si substrate to prevent the redeposition of etched Au particles over the sidewall of the masking material known as veils. First, the effect of the lithography step was investigated. Then the effects of etch chemistry and the process parameters on the redeposition of etched Au particles on the sidewall of the masking material were investigated. The redeposition effect was examined b...
Reducing computational demand of multi-state constraint kalman filter in visual-inertial odometry applications Eyice, Kerem; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) The aim of this study is to reduce the computational load required by Multi-State Constraint Kalman Filter in visual-inertial odometry applications while maintaining the accuracy of the localization solution. In order to accomplish this, a keyframe-based pose selection mechanism is proposed. The proposed method fuses visual measurements with inertial measurements in order to estimate the kinematics of the platform. The contribution of this study is to reduce computational demand of the filtering operations ...
