Abstract

This paper presents a simple individualized open-loop control scheme for the automatic delivery of anesthetics in order to achieve and maintain a desired depth of anesthesia. This control scheme is based on a new model for the action of the hypnotic propofol and the analgesic remifentanil, that is more suitable for parameter identification according to the usual clinical practice. The model parameters are estimated on-line (with a short estimation time), allowing a quick tuning of the controller.
