A Transformer Intraoperative Blood Pressure Prediction Method Based on Channel Adaptation and Local Enhancement
Accurately predicting the intraoperative blood pressure status of patients to prevent intraoperative hypotension has a positive effect on improving surgical safety and reducing postoperative complications.Previous hypotension prediction methods were mainly regarded as binary classification tasks,ignoring the process of patient blood pressure changes,thus limiting the formu-lation of intervention strategies.Therefore,predicting the change trend of blood pressure in advance has more important clinical re-search and application value.In this study,it focuses on the real-time prediction of future blood pressure values at 5min,10min and 15min using monitored intraoperative physiological sequences.A Channel-Adaptive and Locally-Enhanced Transformer model is proposed,which captures the local similarity of blood pressure sequences using convolutional attention mechanisms and incorpo-rates a Channel-Adaptive module to model the underlying interactions in physiological sequences.Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves significant improvements in prediction accuracy at 5min,10min and 15min,with respective increases of 4.88%,8.2%and 8.42%compared to the baseline model.The Mean Absolute Error(MAE)for predicted mean arterial pressure is 2.997,3.393 and 3.743,respectively,outperforming other comparative models significantly.The findings provide a new solution for intraoperative blood pressure prediction.
