TL;DR: A fuzzy control system to provide closed-loop control of mean arterial pressure (MAP) in postsurgical patients in a cardiac surgical intensive care unit setting by regulating sodium nitroprusside (SNP) infusion is discussed.

TL;DR: It is concluded that it may be feasible to employ this fuzzy controller in the management of mean arterial pressure of patients clinically and various applications of the fuzzy controller may exist in industry and in biomedical engineering.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a new type of fuzzy controller which is based on the general-purpose Fuzzy LOgic Production System shell FLOPS, and the performance of the proposed fuzzy controller was compared to that of a fine-tuned Proportional-Integral (PI) controller by using a first-order linear model.
