    A new computerized system effectively controls ventilation using end-tidal CO2 feedback (FETCO2). This automated system rapidly adjusts minute ventilation, maintaining stable CO2 levels in anesthetized dogs.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Respiratory Physiology
    • Control Systems

    Background:

    • Mechanical ventilation requires precise control of gas exchange.
    • End-tidal CO2 fraction (FETCO2) is a non-invasive indicator of arterial CO2.
    • Automated feedback systems can potentially improve ventilation management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and test a computerized system for closed-loop control of ventilation using FETCO2 feedback.
    • To evaluate the system's effectiveness, robustness, and dynamic response in an animal model.

    Main Methods:

    • A computerized controller was designed to adjust minute volume based on FETCO2.
    • The system was tested in five anesthetized dogs, evaluating responses to set-point changes and disturbances.
    • Performance metrics included settling time, overshoot, loop gain tolerance, breath-to-breath variation, and disturbance rejection.

    Main Results:

    • The controller achieved new FETCO2 set-points within 60 seconds with <20% overshoot.
    • The system demonstrated robustness across a range of loop gains (0.5x to 2x optimal).
    • Closed-loop control reduced breath-to-breath FETCO2 variation compared to constant minute volume in 3/5 dogs and maintained FETCO2 within +/- 0.1 vol% of the set-point.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed computerized system shows effective and robust closed-loop control of ventilation based on FETCO2 feedback in dogs.
    • The system demonstrates rapid response and stability, with potential to reduce ventilation variability.
    • Further modifications are needed to accurately control arterial partial pressure of CO2 (PaCO2).
