Abstract :
An automatic blood-pressure controller yielding satisfactory results in simulation has been constructed using fuzzy set theory. This prototype controller is not adaptive and is therefore not intended for closed-loop control in surgery. However, the fuzzy control approach is very well suited to closed-loop control in complex biomedical problems. Further study is currently under way in the area of adaptive fuzzy control, in order to manage wide variations in patients´ drug responses (e.g. drug sensitivity and time delay).<>
