BRAINDEX: an interactive, knowledge-based system supporting brain death diagnosis.

BRAINDEX (Brain-Death Expert System) is an interactive, knowledge-based expert system offering support to physicians in decision making concerning brain death. The physician is given the possibility of communicating in almost natural language and, therefore, in terms with which he is familiar. This updated version of the system is implemented on an IBM-PC/AT with the expert system shell PC-PLUS and consists of about 430 rules. The determination of brain death is realized with backward chaining and for the optional coma-scaling a forward-chaining mechanism is used.

[Braindex--an expert system for the diagnosis of brain death].

An IBM PC-based system was developed as a decision-supporting system for the diagnosis of brain death. Braindex has been realized with the expert system Tool PC-Plus, and includes a knowledge base containing 300 rules organized in 8 frames. Both forward chaining and backward chaining are used in the inference engine. Braindex also includes a text archive and a lexicon. The data of 42 brain death patients are stored in the data bank (300 parameter per patient). The system is presently in the first stage of clinical application.
