- Abstract:
- Introduction: Because contemporary medicine needs its physicians to examine and diagnose their patients in a short period, more hospitals tend to integrate electronic systems in their processes. For the evaluation of an arterial blood gas analysis (ABG) so far, no adequate electronic system exists. Objectives: The main aim of this diploma thesis has been to develop an application (app) for the operating system android, which is currently used on a great number of smartphones. This app should be able to interpret and analyse a ABG and give the clinician a short and effective method to do the workaround on a patient. Methods: Developing and designing an app for android in the programming language JAVA. Testing and operating the app with known cases derived from the scientific literature. Results: The app mABHC was programmed and developed. Afterwards the app mABHC was tested and was able to correctly analyse several known cases from the literature. Conclusion: The app mABHC is able to assist the physician by helping to interpret a ABG result which otherwise would take more time. mABHC needs more developing and testing but right now it is possible to get a quick overview and with that the diagnostic process can be easier.
