Abstract
This workshop dwelt at length on the many potential and implemented uses of control systems in anesthesia. We can briefly summarize some of these uses here: the control of the administration of inhaled and injected anesthetic agents, as well as of ancillary agents; the control of ventilation, in all of its aspects; the control of oxygen concentration; and the control of a closed-circuit volume. The advantages of a control system have also been dealt with at length and include the following, (a) Continuous monitoring of the patient and continuous adjustment for the appropriate input or inputs, (b) As a corollary, implementation of a more rapid response to an emergency, (c) Elimination of the factors that can lead to an accident or error: boredom, fatigue, irritation, or distraction, (d) Relief of the anesthetist from simple or boring tasks in complex cases.
