Clinical decision support and artificial intelligence using fuzzy logic and closed loop techniques are methods that might help us to handle this complexity in a safe effective and efficient way. Merouani and colleagues have performed a study using fuzzy logic and closed loop techniques to more effectively wean patients with sepsis from norepinephrine infusion. In the intensive care environment clinicians are trying surrounded by a wealth of information and using guidelines as well as their personal expertise to treat patients in the best possible way. We know that these treatments are complex and not always consistent among clinicians. They might also be influenced by a number of other conditions such as workload and human conditions such as fatigue or personal feelings and intuition. Examples of these treatments are mechanical ventilation or multidrug hemodynamic support in septic shock. Not only is the commencement of these treatments important but also the weaning process in order to limit possible side effects resulting from them. Weaning from vasopressors is often approached empirically and performed manually. Bedside equipment such as pressure transducers infusion pumps pulse oximeters and mechanical ventilators store their data in clinical information systems. Artificial intelligence tools can function as intelligent assistants to clinicians constantly monitoring data for trends or adjusting the .
