Abstract
One of the anesthesiologist’s tasks during surgery is controlling the effects of the drugs he administers. This is usually done by manually adjusting the dose so that the desired effect is achieved. Effects of IV drugs are usually controlled by administering them as a series of boluses, constant infusion, or some combination of the two.
