Anesthesia in Closed Loop
Researchers:Tore Hägglund (area leader) and Kristian Soltesz in collaboration with professor Guy Dumont and the ECEM group, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
Start-date: 2011-01
End-date: 2013-01
Results: After being an LCCC seedproject (24 months), the research became part of the department's biomedical projects and the results published in a PhD thesis.
Acknowledgement: The project would not have been possible to perform without the support from LCCC.
Objective: To develop an automatic control system for anesthesia
Description: Computer controlled, or automatic, drug delivery is the process of administering a therapeutic regime to a patient with computer assistance for calculation of optimal dose and delivery schedules. Computer control can improve drug therapy by reducing drug usage and costs, by permitting health care staff to work more efficiently and to provide better standard of care, by allowing the safe use of drugs that are difficult to administer, and by compensation for human failings with computer strengths, such as unlimited attention span and patience, and capacity for quick, accurate and redundant calculation.
Our goal is to develop an automatic control system for anesthesia and to demonstrate its efficacy, safety and benefits in an operating room. Although closed-loop anesthesia has previously been proposed and tested, it has yet to have a significant impact on clinical practice. Recent developments in sensing for anesthesia have opened new possibilities for closing the loop. Our research will focus on the deployment of new sensors optimized for controlled drug delivery, robust control methodology and extensive clinical validation.
Clinical partner in the project is the Department of Anesthesia at the British Columbia Children's Hospital (BCCH), Vancouver, Canada, where patient modeling data is collected and clinical trials of the control system are conducted.
A PID controller based drug delivery system for depth of hypnosis control was evaluated in a patient study (BCCH REB approval H10-01174) during 2011.
Our current aim is to extend the system to control hypnosis and analgesia simultaneously, by adding a second drug.
