Model-based automatic feedback control versus human control of end-tidal isoflurane concentration using low-flow anaesthesia

Abstract: We studied the clinical use of an automatic feedback control system to adjust the end-tidal anaesthetic concentration with a low-flow method. The end-tidal controller uses two input signals (the end-tidal and inspiratory concentrations) to control the isoflurane concentration in the fresh gas flow, using a model-based algorithm. We studied 22 ASA I-III patients during elective surgery lasting more than 2 h. The anaesthetist was asked to make four step changes of the target end-tidal concentration (+0.3, +0.6, … Show more

“…There is an increasing interest in computerized closed-loop control of medication infusion for critically ill patients by virtue of its potential for delivery and continuous monitoring of high-quality treatment [1][2][3] and alleviation of caregivers' workload. 4,5 Indeed, closed-loop control of anesthesia, [6][7][8] vasopressor infusion, 9 and fluid resuscitation [10][11][12] has been an active area of research for a few decades.…”

“…Studies investigating the efficacy of closed-loop medication infusion relative to manual medication infusion suggest that the former performs as well as, or sometimes even outperforms, the latter in sticking to the specified target clinical endpoint in anesthesia care [1][2][3], vasopressor therapy [4], and fluid resuscitation [5][6][7].
