    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Pharmacokinetics

    Background:

    • Maintaining precise alveolar anesthetic concentration is crucial for patient safety during general anesthesia.
    • Traditional methods for controlling anesthetic levels can be imprecise and require manual adjustments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a novel automated system for controlling alveolar halothane concentration during controlled ventilation.
    • To assess the system's ability to determine anesthetic parameters on-line and estimate mixed venous anesthetic partial pressure.

    Main Methods:

    • Breath-by-breath measurement of inspired and end-tidal halothane concentrations.
    • On-line determination of alveolar concentration response parameters without reference models or pre-programming.
