Derived fuzzy knowledge model for estimating the depth of anesthesia

Reliable and noninvasive monitoring of the depth of anesthesia (DOA) is highly desirable. Based on adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) modeling, a derived fuzzy knowledge model is proposed for quantitatively estimating the DOA and validate it by 30 experiments using 15 dogs undergoing anesthesia with three different anesthetic regimens (propofol, isoflurane, and halothane). By eliciting fuzzy if-then rules, the model provides a way to address the DOA estimation problem by using electroencephalogram-derived parameters. The parameters Include two new measures (complexity and regularity) extracted by nonlinear quantitative analyses, as well as spectral entropy. The model demonstrates good performance in discriminating awake and asleep states for three common anesthetic regimens (accuracy 90.3% for propofol, 92.7%, for isoflurane, and 89.1% for halothane), real-time feasibility, and generalization ability (accuracy 85.9% across the three regimens). The proposed fuzzy knowledge model is a promising candidate as an effective tool for continuous assessment of the DOA.
