TLDR
A new method for target control infusion (TCI) for neuromuscular blockade (NMB) level control of patients subject to general anaesthesia is presented, which combines an inversion of the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model with a hybrid parameter estimation method that uses on-line data from the initial bolus response to estimate the model parameters.
Abstract
The paper presents a new method for target control infusion (TCI) for neuromuscular blockade (NMB) level control of patients subject to general anaesthesia. The method combines an inversion of the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model with a hybrid parameter estimation method that uses on-line data from the initial bolus response to estimate the model parameters. Although atracurium is considered as relaxant, the newly proposed method may be applied to other drugs for which the PK/PD model is available. Simulation results on a bank of 100 patient models are presented to demonstrate the achievable performance.

Robust internal model control for depth of anaesthesia

TL;DR: This study develops patient dose-response models and provides an adequate drug administration regimen to avoid under or over dosing of patients and a robust internal model controller (RIMC) based on the Bispectral Index.

Neuromuscular blockade nonlinear model identification

TL;DR: Computer simulations show that the proposed identification methodology is able to provide good results even when the pharmacokinetic dynamics has an order higher that two, which suggests that the methodology may be employed in neuromuscular blockade automated control as a predictive model, to help the initial tuning of the controller parameters or in adaptive control to get a first model that can be improved with online identification.

Depth of anaesthesia patient models and control

TL;DR: In this study the simulation shows that the internal model control performed better than the PID controller for anaesthesia depth, and this study uses aninternal model control structure for the adjustment of Bispectral Index (BIS).

Depth of anaesthesia control investigation using robust deadbeat control technique

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the depth of anaesthesia (DoA) control system using robust deadbeat technique and developed a robust controller, which has about 15% less overshoot, shorter settling time (about 1.5 minutes shorter) and more robust to disturbances caused by parameter changes.

Comparison of Closed-loop Controlled Administration of Propofol Using Bispectral Index as the Controlled Variable versus “Standard Practice” Controlled Administration

TL;DR: A closed-loop system for propofol administration using the BIS as a controlled variable together with a model-based controller is clinically acceptable during general anesthesia.

The development of ‘Diprifusor’: a TCI system for propofol

J. B. Glen
- 01 Apr 1998 - 
TL;DR: Standardisation of the delivery performance of commercial systems has been achieved with a laboratory performance specification and clinical studies indicate that the actual blood concentrations achieved were about 16% greater than the calculated values displayed by the ‘Diprifusor’ infusion system.

Manual compared with target-controlled infusion of propofol.

TL;DR: Significantly more propofol was administered during both induction and maintenance of anaesthesia with the target-controlled system, associated with significantly increased end-tidal carbon dioxide measurements during the middle period of maintenance only, but recovery from anaesthesia was not significantly prolonged in thetarget-controlled group.

Closed‐loop control of propofol anaesthesia using bispectral index™: performance assessment in patients receiving computer‐controlled propofol and manually controlled remifentanil infusions for minor surgery†

TL;DR: The revised closed-loop system using the bispectral index for automatic control of propofol anaesthesia was able to provide clinically adequate anaesthesia in all patients, with better accuracy of control than in the previous study.

A Model-Predictive Hypnosis Control System Under Total Intravenous Anesthesia

TL;DR: A hypnosis control system, which administers propofol as an anesthetic drug to regulate the bispectral index (BIS), an electroencephalography-derived index reflecting the hypnosis of a patient, can reduce the total amount of prop ofol infusion and maintain the BIS more accurately than anesthesiologist's manual adjustment.
