Inhalational or total intravenous anaesthesia: is total intravenous anaesthesia useful and are there economic benefits? [PDF]
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The comparison of inhalational and intravenous anaesthesia has been the subject of many controlled trials and meta-analyses. These reported diverse endpoints typically including measures of the speed and quality of induction of ...

General anesthesia reduces complexity and temporal asymmetry of the informational structures derived from neural recordings in Drosophila [PDF]
We apply techniques from the field of computational mechanics to evaluate the statistical complexity of neural recording data from fruit flies. First, we connect statistical complexity to the flies' level of conscious arousal, which is manipulated by general anesthesia (isoflurane).

Towards Real-World Applications of Personalized Anesthesia Using Policy Constraint Q Learning for Propofol Infusion Control [PDF]
Automated anesthesia promises to enable more precise and personalized anesthetic administration and free anesthesiologists from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on the most critical aspects of a patient's surgical care. Current research has typically focused on creating simulated environments from which agents can learn.

Automated Multi-Drugs Administration During Total Intravenous Anesthesia Using Multi-Model Predictive Control [PDF]
In this paper, a multi-model predictive control approach is used to automate the co-administration of propofol and remifentanil from bispectral index measurement during general anesthesia. To handle the parameter uncertainties in the non-linear output function, multiple Extended Kalman Filters are used to estimate the state of the system in parallel ...
