fuzzy controllers are being used in various control schemes. the aim of this work was adjusting hemodialysis machine parameters utilizing a fuzzy logic controller (flc) so that patient’s hemodynamic condition remains stable during hemodialysis treatment. for this purpose a comprehensive mathematical model of the arterial pressure response during hemodialysis, including hemodynamic, osmotic, and...

hemodynamic changes are major hazards of general anesthesia and are probably generated by direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. we designed this prospective randomised study to assess the cardiovascular changes after either laryngeal mask airway (lma), face mask (fm) or endotracheal tube (ett) insertion in the airway management of adult patients anesthetised with nitrous oxide and ha...

hemodynamic monitoring is needed in up to 58% of patients presented to the emergency department. central venous pressure (cvp) monitoring is generally useful to assess general volume status. there are several methods of cvp measurement, which can be categorized as invasive and non-invasive. cvp manometer and electronic transducer are among the invasive methods and direct observation, ultrasonog...

both midazolam and thiopental sodium are being used as induction agents and for maintenance of anesthesia. in contrast to other benzodiazepines such as diazepam, midazolam has a rapid onset of action and fast distribution and causes few cardiovascular or respiratory effects. being water soluble, midazolam is also associated with a low incidence of venous irritation. the purpose of this study wa...
