Multidimensional specifics of a pre-hospital stage of sharply current
diseases are predetermined by three main deficiencies: time, information,
resources. In the conditions of these deficiencies there are preconditions for
diagnostic and tactical mistakes with prevalence of the last. Mistakes are most
frequent at cordial, plevropulmonal and syncope syndromes [1].
The difficult nature of errors of a pre-hospital stage is still
insufficiently studied and partly caused by difficulties of recognition of the
earliest manifestations of emergency pathology.
Oligosimptoms, an atypical, dynamic change of clinic, a situational
stress and already mentioned deficiencies - here that reality which the
emergency doctor faces, first of all, and before all.
In the reasons of tactical miscalculations and the missed opportunities
of the correct diagnostics at a pre-hospital stage ethical, deontological,
legal and social and economic aspects of contact of the emergency doctor with
the patient, especially in social and dangerous cases [2] can be looked through
also.
The stated stabilizes a problem of adoption of medical decisions at a
pre-hospital stage.
Thus, the range of options of decision-making is rather wide – from
council of more skilled colleague (including in the form of consultation of the
doctor of specialized crew directly at departure to the patient or according to
information transferred the doctor, the paramedic on channels of telemetric
communication: electrocardiography, etc.), a methodical grant or the algorithm
pocket directory and before dialogue in the on-line mode with interactive
computer system of information decision-making.
Two main directions of information decision-making in
line with computer technologies are possible:
1) development focused on emergency pathology and well
structured database or the information retrieval system executed in
architecture "client server" and placed on the central substation with
the corresponding terminals on other substations;
2) providing ambulance crews with modem communication
and pocket personal computers or personal "laptop" computers with the
compact systems of information decision-making placed on them and problem-oriented
expert systems.
Condition of effective operation of system of
information decision-making is efficiency of access and searches of the
necessary data, meeting the requirements of real time scale, and also
possibility of integration in structure of a database or the intellectual
systems, realizing logic-heuristic the analysis of diagnostic information.
Also pocket personal computers and laptops have to
have access to the centralized database.
Also experiments on logic-heuristic modeling of
adoption of diagnostic decisions in urgent cardiology were made. Results of
experiments are realized at the level of a research prototype in the form of
expert consulting and diagnostic systems "Urgent Cardiology" and
"Arrhythmias".
Encouraging results of trial operation (90% of the
correct conclusions) allow to recommend the technology of logic-heuristic
identification of emergency conditions developed by us for creation of computer
systems of information decision-making at a pre-hospital stage.
It should be noted, however, that irrespective of the
future prospects of process of information decision-making, computer
technologies are urged not to replace decision-making by the doctor, and to
help to avoid mistakes because schemes as B.E.Votchal noticed still, are necessary,
"when there is no time to think or there are nothing to think" [3].
