RT Conference Proceedings T1 Model and neural control of the depth of anesthesia during surgery A1 Fernández-de-Cañete-Rodríguez, Francisco Javier A1 Medina, Mayte A1 Fernández de Cañete, Rafael A1 Alcain, Nuria A1 Ramos-Diaz, Juan Carlos K1 Anestesia AB At present, the experimentation of anesthetic drugs onpatients requires a regulation protocol, and the response of each patientto several doses of entry drug must be well known. Therefore, thedevelopment of pharmacological dose control systems is a promisingfield of research in anesthesiology.In this paper it has been developed a non-linear compartmentalpharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamical model which describes theanesthesia depth effect on a sufficiently reliable way over a set ofpatients with the depth effect quantified by the Bi-Spectral Index.Afterwards, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) predictive controllerhas been designed based on the depth of anesthesia model so as to keepthe patient on the optimum condition while he undergoes surgicaltreatment.For the purpose of quantifying the efficiency of the neural predictivecontroller, a classical proportional-integral-derivative controller hasalso been developed to compare both strategies. Results show thesuperior performance of predictive neural controller during Bi-Spectral Index reference tracking.
