Open-Loop Control Systems and Their Performance for Intravenous Anaesthetics

  • Conference paper
Control and Automation in Anaesthesia

Abstract

Anaesthetists often provide anaesthesia by continuous infusion of intravenous drugs, using open-loop control systems. Such systems include syringe pumps and volumetric pumps.
