Hierarchical Monitoring and Fuzzy Logic Control in Anaesthesia
What is anaesthesia ? * Art or Science * Loss of Awareness * Loss of all Sensation (Pain, Temp., Position) * The process should be reversible * Modern general anaesthesia (TRIAD) Unconsciousness Balanced Anaesthesia Analgesia Muscle Relaxation
Automatic Control in Anaesthesia The main problem : measurement of clinical signs for on-line input to the system * Muscle Relaxation: direct measurement: EMG control algorithm: PID, GPC, FLC, etc. * Unconsciousness (Depth of Anaesthesia): no direct measurement
Indirect measurement: (a) SAP, HR (b) SW, LA, PR, MO (c) End Tidal of AA, MAC, (d) Plasma concentration (e) Heart Rate Variability (f) Brain Signals EEG, AEP, SEP Etc.
Interpretative algorithm: (a) Aperiodic Analysis (b) Fourier Transform Analysis (c) Auto-Regression Algorithm (d) Fuzzy Logic (e) Neural Networks Etc. Control algorithm: (a) PID, GPC (b) Fuzzy Logic (c) Neural Networks Etc.
* Analgesia (Pain Relief) no direct measurement subjective indirect measurement brain signals (i.e. SEP) Postoperative conditions Cancer pain PCA (Patient-Controlled Analgesia)
Fuzzy logic features: * Can reason with imprecise data * Leads to "soft computing" * Concept of "machine IQ" * Cope with non-linear, complex, unknown processes * Link with neural networks * Link with genetic algorithms * Lack of stability theory
Anaesthetists use “rules of thumb” “imprecise, personal rules” Ex: IFT1% is greater than the set point by a LARGE AMOUNT THENset the atracurium infusion rate to a HIGH LEVE This rules contains imprecise terms: a LARGE AMOUNT a HIGH LEVEL

Computer Monitoring and Control in Muscle Relaxation
Introduction: Short-acting non-depolarizing relaxants Advance of modern computer technology The purpose of this approach: Small, handy and easy to use
Clinical Methods of Nerve Stimulation: • Single-twitch Stimulation • Train-of-four Stimulation • Double-burst Stimulation • Tetanic Stimulation
Recording of Evoked Responses: • Mechanical Responses • Electromyographic Responses • Accelerative Responses
Mechanical Responses:
Electromyographic Responses:
Accelerative Responses:
Requirements for the ideal neuromuscular blocking agent: 1. Non-depolarizing mechanism of action 2. Rapid onset of action 3. Short duration of action 4. Rapid recovery 5. Non cumulative 6. No cardiovascular side effects 7. No histamine release 8. Reversible by cholinesterase inhibitors 9. High potency 10. Pharmacologically inactive metabolites.
The characteristics of Atracurium, Mivacurium and Rocuronium : 1. An aqueous for intravenous injection 2. Conc.: 10 (A), 2 (M), 10 (R) mg/ml 3. Non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug 4. Onset time: 1.5 (A), 2.5 (M), 1 (R) min 5. Duration of action: Intermediate (A, R), Short(M) 6. Recovery: Intermediate (A, R), Rapid (M) 7. Cardiovascular effect: Yes(A, M), No (R) 8. Histamine release: Yes (A, M), No (R) 9. Metabolites.
Atracurium: Laudanosine (Central effects) (Cisatracurium: 1/3 Laudanosine) Mivacurium: Enzyme Rocuronium : Liver, Kidney (Vecuronium: causing prolonged block) The Wellcome Foundation (A, M): J. Savarese Organon Teknika ( R )

Summary: (Muscle Relaxation) Clinically, this system was useful: * Provided stable surgical operating conditions * Minimized the amount of neuromuscular blocker required by each patient * Reduced the need for the anaesthetist to spend time controlling neuromuscular block * Allowed reliable antagonism of neuromuscular block at the end of surgery

Monitoring EEG Signals of Awakening During Propofol Anaesthesia
Problem: Detecting awareness In Paralyzed patient remained unsolved. Cardiovascular signs are not always reliable. The aim of this study: To investigate the changes of different waves in EEG signals during different anaesthetic stages To identify the parameter for early detection awareness
