Multiple model adaptive control of neuromuscular blockade: Design guidelines and clinical cases [PDF]
, 2007 The high level of uncertainty of the dynamic response of patients subject to anaesthesia motivates the use of adaptive control methods. This paper proposes an approach based on Switched Multiple Model Adaptive Control (SMMAC) to tackle this problem in ...
