Perioperative Closed-loop Control of Analgesia in Humans
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new paradigm for intraoperative closed-loop control of analgesia in humans. The infusion rate of the opiate alfentanil is the manipulated variable which is administered intravenously through a Computer Controlled Infusion Pump (CCIP). The two regulated outputs are the patient’s Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and the drug concentration in the plasma. Maintaining MAP within acceptable ranges improves the patient’s reactions to surgical stimulation. Tracking plasma concentrations enables anesthesiologists to titrate analgesic administration to other qualitative signs of inadequate analgesia. An explicit Model Predictive Controller (MPC) was designed to achieve the above mentioned goals. The results of clinical tests of the controller on humans are presented and discussed.

This paper focuses on the effects of closed- control on the calculation of the dynamic load carrying capacity (DLCC) for mobile-base flexible-link manipulators. In previously proposed methods in the literature of DLCC calculation in flexible robots, an open-loop control scheme is assumed, whereas in reality, robot control is achieved via closed loop approaches which could render the calculated ...

This paper is has addressed the Single Flexible Link Robot. The dynamical model is derived using Euler-Lagrange equation and then a proper controller is designed to suppress a vibration based-on Input-Shaping (IS) method. But, IS control method is an open loop strategy. Due to the weakness of open loop control systems, a closed loop IS control system is proposed. The achieved closed loop c...
