Fuzzy logic assisted control of inspired oxygen in ventilated newborn infants.

摘要: The control of oxygen delivery to mechanically ventilated newborn infants is a time intensive process that must balance adequate tissue oxygenation against possible toxic effects exposure. Investigation in computer assisted mechanical ventilation increasing, although very few studies involve infants. We have implemented fuzzy controller for the adjustment inspired concentration (FIO2) newborns. utilizes rules produced by neonatologists, and operates real-time. A clinical trial this currently taking place neonatal care unit (NICU) Children's Hospital, Boston, MA.
