Nicolino J. Pizzi, Sandhya Kapoor, Jon M. Gerrard · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1989
The purpose of this expert system is to assess a predisposition to bleeding in a patient undergoing a tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy as may occur with patients who have certain blood conditions such as hemophilia and von Willebrand's disease. This goal is achieved by establishing a correlation between the patients' responses to a medical questionnaire and the relative quantities of blood lost during the operation.
