- Abstract: Mechanical ventilation is a critical life-support intervention that uses a machine to deliver controlled air and oxygen to a patient's lungs, assisting or replacing spontaneous breathing. While several data-driven approaches have been proposed to optimize ventilator control strategies, they often lack interpretability and agreement with general domain knowledge. This paper proposes a methodology for interpretable reinforcement learning (RL) using decision trees for mechanical ventilation control. Using a causal, nonparametric model-based off-policy evaluation, we evaluate the policies in their ability to gain increases in SpO2 while avoiding aggressive ventilator settings which are known to cause ventilator induced lung injuries and other complications. Numerical experiments using MIMIC-III data on the stays of real patients' intensive care unit stays demonstrate that the decision tree policy outperforms the behavior cloning policy and is comparable to state-of-the-art RL policy. Future work concerns better aligning the cost function with medical objectives to generate deeper clinical insights.

DeepVent is a Conservative Q-Learning (CQL) based offline Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agent that learns to predict the optimal ventilator parameters for a patient to promote 90 day survival.
We find that DeepVent recommends ventilation parameters within safe ranges, as outlined in recent clinical trials.
The CQL algorithm offers additional safety by mitigating the overestimation of the value estimates of out-of-distribution states/actions.

It is important that the patient discharge task addresses the nuanced trade-off between decreasing a patient's length of stay and the risk of readmission or even death following the discharge decision.
This work introduces an end-to-end general framework for capturing this trade-off to recommend optimal discharge timing decisions.

Mechanical ventilation is one of the most widely used therapies in the ICU.
We frame these as a control problem: ventilators must let air in and out of the patient's lungs according to a prescribed trajectory of airway pressure.
Our data-driven approach learns to control an invasive ventilator by training on a simulator itself trained on data collected from the ventilator.
This method outperforms popular reinforcement learning algorithms and even controls the physical ventilator more accurately and robustly than PID.
