Sepsis and ARDS Exacerbation

Hi !
I am working on a new clinical scenario where we need to simulate a patient with sepsis shock.
I know that you have a branch in which you started the implementation of such condition, but I also read several posts in the forum (ex in Speed up effects of conditions and actions - #3 by Tim_G). In the last one, you mentioned that the sepsis might be released end of 2022, or early 2023. Would you have any updated on this ?

For now, my idea was to :

  • create an init patient state who has an ARDS condition
  • set an ARDS exacerbation to increase/decrease the impact along the scenario

Rather than creating the patient from API, I wanted to save the pulse convergence time and load a patient state who already has the ARDS condition. So the only thing to do is to set exacerbation as an action. I checked in Python (HowToARDS.py and reproduced the following lines in C# (I am developing a unity Unity C# project):

SEAcuteRespiratoryDistressSyndromeExacerbation ARDSExacerb = new SEAcuteRespiratoryDistressSyndromeExacerbation();
ARDSExacerb.GetSeverity(eLungCompartment.LeftLung).SetValue(severityL);
ARDSExacerb.GetSeverity(eLungCompartment.RightLung).SetValue(severityR);

// Process the exacerbation
pulse.ProcessAction(ARDSExacerb);

Problem is: I get an error stating the dictionary does not contain the lungs compartments.

Are you aware of this, and if yes would you have any recommendations to solve it ?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for pointing this out
Looks like a language translation error in developing the C# API

Will have a fix pushed up today to our integration branch

The integration branch has been updated to address this C# ARDS bug

Finalizing our Sepsis model is currently still in a holding pattern
