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).
