Abstract :
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed a fuzzy logic model to simulate neural and hormonal compensation (NHC) mechanisms during hemorrhagic shock. This NHC model is a component in a larger trauma patient simulation model under development that predicts changes in hemodynamic parameters during and after hemorrhage. These predicted variables may then be used to determine and automate fluid resuscitation. To develop the fuzzy logic model, SwRI combined physiological knowledge about NHC with experimental hemorrhage data obtained from swine. Plausible predictions for physiological variables were obtained
