Sumario:Coronavirus disease 2019 can lead to sudden and severe respiratory failure that mandates endotracheal intubation, a procedure much more safely performed under elective rather than emergency conditions. Early warning of rising risk of this event could benefit both patients and healthcare providers by reducing the high risk of emergency intubation. Current illness severity scoring systems, which usually update only when clinicians measure vital signs or laboratory values, are poorly suited for early detection of this kind of rapid clinical deterioration. We propose that continuous predictive analytics monitoring, a new approach to bedside management, is more useful. The principles of this new practice anchor in analysis of continuous bedside monitoring data, training models on diagnosis-specific paths of deterioration using clinician-identified events, and continuous display of trends in risks rather than alerts when arbitrary thresholds are exceeded.
