Computer applications in intravenous anaesthetic administration.

W S Jordan, R R Jaklitch, M P Heining

    International Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing
    |January 1, 1986

    Summary

    Computerized intravenous anesthesia delivery has challenges with feedback control and ideal agents. While computers won't replace anesthesiologists, they can aid teaching and research, improving patient safety through automation.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Medical Informatics

    Background:

    • Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) offers benefits but faces feedback control limitations.
    • Current intravenous anesthetic agents, including di-isopropylphenol, lack ideal properties and have undefinable endpoints.
    • Intraoperative awareness is a risk with inadequate dosing of intravenous anesthetics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the role and limitations of computerization in intravenous anesthesia delivery.
    • To discuss future directions for intravenous anesthesia, focusing on agent and monitoring development.
    • To assess the potential for computers to replace or assist the anesthesiologist.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current literature on intravenous anesthesia and computer-controlled systems.
    • Discussion of pharmacokinetic principles and anesthetic depth monitoring.
    • Analysis of the anesthesiologist's role in anesthesia delivery and patient safety.

    Main Results:

    • Computerized TIVA presents significant feedback control challenges.
    • The ideal intravenous anesthetic agent and reliable depth transducers are yet to be developed.
    • Computers are unlikely to replace anesthesiologists, who are crucial for critical decision-making and crisis management.

    Conclusions:

    • Future advancements should prioritize new intravenous agents and depth monitoring, not just complex control systems.
    • Computerized anesthesia delivery has potential in teaching and research for standardization and pharmacokinetic education.
    • Automation can free anesthesiologists for enhanced patient monitoring and care, improving safety.
