Adaptive Control of Low-flow Anaesthesia Using a Mixture of Anaesthetic Gases
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates the automatic control of low-flow inhalational anaesthesia using a mixture of isoflurane and nitruous oxide gases. An adaptive constrained multivariable GPC method is used to compute the isoflurane infusion rate and the nitrous oxide concentration in the fresh gas based on measurements of the endtidal isoflurane concentration and mean arterial prex`ssure (MAP). In the second part of the paper, the same strategy is employed to control the end-tidal isoflurane concentration using the fresh-gas flow rate and the isoflurane infusion rate as manipulated variables. The feasibility of the proposed control strategies is evaluated on an extended nonlinear compartmental model of the anaesthesia system, which include the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic equations associated with the second anaesthetic gas. Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate the approach. Copyright © 2005 IFAC

Fuzzy logic control of inspired isoflurane and oxygen concentrations using minimal flow anaesthesia.
In order to evaluate the performance of feedback fuzzy logic control of inspired oxygen and isoflurane concentrations, we studied 30 patients undergoing discectomy for lumbar (n = 26) or cervical (n = 4) disc herniation. Patients were allocated random to one of two groups: a standard group (n = 15) with low flow anaesthesia (1.2-1.3 litre min-1) and manual control of gas concentrations; and a f...
متن کاملViscosity and density of common anaesthetic gases: implications for flow measurements.
Although viscosity (mu) is a crucial factor in measurements of flow with a pneumotachograph, and density (rho) also plays a role in the presence of turbulent flow, these material constants are not available for the volatile anaesthetic agents commonly administered in clinical practice. Thus, we determined experimentally mu and rho of pure volatile anaesthetic agents. Input impedance of a rigid-...
متن کاملPotency of mixtures of general anaesthetic agents.
The anaesthetic potencies of binary mixtures of the gases argon (Ar), nitrous oxide (N2O) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) have been measured using mice. The mixtures SF6-N2O and N2O-Ar showed additive behaviour, whereas the constituents of the mixture SF6-Ar were non-additive, having a smaller total potency than expected. Further experiments on this mixture with Italian Great Newts and on the ca...
متن کاملHydrodynamic evaluation of a new anaesthetic gas scavenging system.
A new anaesthetic gas scavenging system is described. The resistance of the system appears to be low. When input gas flow rate in the system was zero or 150 litre min-1, misuse of the system produced pressure changes at its collecting points of 26 Pa subatmospheric and 630 Pa above atmospheric pressure, respectively. Suggestions to develop the system and increase its safety are presented.
متن کاملA survey on the use of low flow anaesthesia and the choice of inhalational anaesthetic agents among anaesthesiologists of India
BACKGROUND AND AIMS With the availability of modern workstations and heightened awareness on the environmental effects of waste anaesthesia gases, anaesthesiologists worldwide are practicing low flow anaesthesia (LFA). Although LFA is being practiced in India, hard evidence on the current practice of the same from anaesthesiologists practicing in India is lacking and hence, we conducted this su...
