World first: researchers develop completely automated anesthesia system
Date:5/1/2008

rug doses for any given moment of anesthesia. McSleepy assists the anesthesiologist in the same way an automatic transmission assists people when driving. As such, anesthesiologists can focus more on other aspects of direct patient care. An additional feature is that the system can communicate with personal digital assistants (PDAs), making distant monitoring and anesthetic control possible. In addition, this technology can be easily incorporated into modern medical teaching programs such as simulation centers and web-based learning platforms.

Anesthesia care is characterized by many biological and pharmacological parameters to monitor record and analyze. It will probably take two years to perfect the system, Dr. Hemmerling said. Many people are reluctant to rely on automated systems, especially when they are not visible it is not clear what they are actually doing or how - , the fear of a black box which suddenly takes over. In designing McSleepy, we put in considerable research on the design of an interface which is clear, easy to read, resembles displays of our everyday practice but still provides a detailed clinical picture of what is going on and what has happened.

Dr. Hemmerling hopes that a commercial system might be available within the next 5 years.
