Abstract
During intravenous anesthesia, anesthetic drugs
must be administered at a suitable rate to prevent over dosing
and under dosing in a patient. A developed Pharmacokinetic-
Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model, which has been used to
study the relationship between administered anesthetic dose
and its effect on the patient in terms of hypnosis, is considered.
In this paper, Linear Model Predictive Controller (LMPC)
framework based on Active Set Method (ASM) with modified
approach for closed loop control of intravenous anesthesia is
presented for Single-Input (Propofol infusion rate) Single-
Output (Bispectral Index (BIS)) model of a patient.
Effectiveness of the designed LMPC has been studied for BIS
reference tracking as well as constraints, disturbances and
noise handling in the measured variables. Performance of
proposed approach is compared with conventional
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller, considering
closed loop time delays. Simulation result shows that, proposed
LMPC outperforms conventional PID controller.
