Abstract
The invention relates to a method for anticipating a change occurring in the condition of a patient's organism before the condition of a patient reaches a critical point, the condition of a patient's organism being monitored by the application of an appropriate measuring method and the determinations according to said measuring method being effected at appropriate time intervals. The measuring results obtained on the basis of effected measurements, the number of which must be at least two, or quantities derived therefrom are utilized for predicting the future development of one or more measuring results and, if a measuring result according to the prediction indicates that a limit value representing a predetermined critical point is reached in the condition of a patient within a predetermined period of time, a warning signal is released indicating that this critical point is being approached.
