Despite normal appearances of traditional vital signs like heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP), clinically significant OH may be present, posing a critical diagnostic challenge. Early detection of OH, before vital signs begin to deteriorate, is vital as delays in identifying such conditions are linked to poorer patient outcomes. We analyze the performance of poly-anatomic multivariate technologies-including electrical impedance tomography (EIT), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), plethysmography (Pleth), and ECG-in a porcine model of OH. The goal was to detect OH without the need to know the subject's pre-established normal baseline.<i>Approach.</i>Forty female swine were bled at slow rates to create an extended period of subclinical hemorrhage, during which the animals' HR and BP remained stable before hemodynamic deterioration. Continuous vital signs, Pleth, and continuous non-invasive data were recorded and analyzed with the objective of developing an improved means of detecting OH. This detection was set up as a supervised voting classification problem where the measurement of each technology (minimally transformed) was used to train a classifier.
