Computer-aided anaesthesia administration.
Certain repetitive tasks of the anaesthesiologist are studied and modelled for automatic processing. These analyses make it possible for optimal control procedures to be programmed and administered by less trained anaesthesia professionals. A dynamic programming model is developed and validated with real data collected from several hospitals in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. By conjunctively monitoring certain transients in the anaesthesia administration process, the scarce supply of anaesthesiology manpower can be more efficiently deployed.
