September 28–October 1 2010. Montebello, Quebec: Scientists, mathematicians, and physicians from across Canada, United States, and France were invited to participate in the second round table analysis on Complexity and Variability at the Bedside to present research, discuss, methodology, and promote applications of “variability analysis”—a novel method for continuous monitoring of variations in physiological systems at the bedside of patients. Recent advancements in research and technology of variability analysis may significantly improve the attention provided to patients afflicted with acute and critical illness. Using mathematical models to analyze data harvested from heart, respiratory, and brain monitors at the bedside of …
