Enhancing Hypotension Prediction in Real-Time Patient Monitoring Through Deep Learning: A Novel Application of XResNet with Contrastive Learning and Value Attention Mechanisms

The precise prediction of hypotension is vital for advancing preemptive patient care strategies. Traditional machine learning approaches, while instrumental in this field, are hampered by their dependence on structured historical data and manual feature extraction techniques. These methods often fall short of recognizing the intricate patterns present in physiological signals. Addressing this limitation, our study introduces an innovative application of deep learning technologies, utilizing a sophisticated end-to-end architecture grounded in XResNet. This architecture is further enhanced by the integration of contrastive learning and a value attention mechanism, specifically tailored to analyze arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveform signals. Our approach improves the performance of hypotension prediction over the existing state-of-the-art ABP model [7]. This research represents a step towards optimizing patient care, embodying the next generation of AI-driven healthcare solutions. Through our findings, we demonstrate the promise of deep learning in overcoming the limitations of conventional prediction models, thereby offering an avenue for enhancing patient outcomes in clinical settings.
