Abstract
In this study, sevofluorane depth of anesthesia was examined through a microcontroller-based fuzzy logic control system according to the blood pressure and heart rate taken from the patient. The system was designed for anesthetic agent, sevofluorane, which is among the first choices of anesthesiologist for inhalation anesthesia. The potential benefits of the systems are as follows:
-
1)
To increase patients’ safety and comfort,
-
2)
To direct anesthesiologist’ attention to other physiological variables which they have to keep under control by abating their tasks,
-
3)
To make the optimum in the area of anesthetic agent,
-
4)
To help protect the environment by using optimum anesthetic agent,
-
5)
To economize by lessening the costs of an operation.
This study will serve as a guide in developing new anesthesia control systems for patients who are in different agent and different risk groups. All the details concernving the system design were given in paper.
