Abstract(s)
Nowadays general anesthesia is maintained using
as the controller the human intervention, relying only on the
quick and certain response of the anesthesiologist to the surrounding conditions, in order to provide the adequate state of
anesthesia for the three main components - hypnosis, analgesia
and paralysis. One of the most advantageous breakthroughs
in anesthesia has been the appearance of depth of anesthesia
monitors, assisting anesthesiologists in the hard job of knowing
the hypnotic state of a patient. This information allows a way
of closing the loop for administration of the hypnotic drug, and
a more secure maintenance of hypnosis. The objective of this
work was to apply sliding-mode control techniques to the model
structure of the hypnotic in the human body (measured by the
effect), and evaluate the robustness of this method to expected
deviations from the average patient.
