Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems

Control and automation in anesthesia imply the intelligent manipulation of anesthetics or adjuvant drugs to provide satisfactory medical conditions for the dynamically changing patient undergoing surgery and anesthesia. Traditionally, the intelligence is supplied totally by the human anesthetist. The focus of this workshop is on new methods in which the manipulation of drugs or other interventions is handled by computers. When the computer makes these changes in response to specific measurements made on the patient, this is termed “closed-loop control”. Other forms of automation (that is, machines conducting activities formerly conducted by a person) are also possible. These range from the relatively mundane — such as the mechanical ventilator or the standard electromechanical infusion pump — to truly autonomous computer agents which could conduct diagnosis and therapy on the patient in the operating room or the intensive care unit (ICU).
