Abstract

A multiple model predictive controller is designed to regulate mean arterial pressure, and cardiac output using inotropic and vasoactive drugs. The algorithm accounts for inter- and intra-patient variability and explicitly handles drug rate constraints. It is experimentally evaluated on canines that are pharmacologically altered to exhibit symptoms of hypertension and depressed cardiac output
