Accuracy
Preliminary results are depicted in figure 2 and supplemental file 2. These graphics display blood gas evolution depending on age and simulation’s speed. Figure 2 shows that SimulResp failed to predict healthy child physiological values when patient was under 8 years old. Figure 2 and Supplemental file 2 shows that Simulresp’s predictions tended to be within normal range when simulation’s speed was over 1000, regardless of age, which question the ability of SimulResp of being accurate when speed is too high. SimulResp’s prediction of fictive healthy child blood gas values according to weight and gender is depicted in figure 3. This graphic representation shows that SimulResp produced healthy child physiological values within normal range starting from a weight of 25 to 35 kg depending of the parameters studied and the length of the simulation. The same findings were observed regarding SimulResp’s prediction of fictive ventilated subjects (Supplemental file 3).
