Event-Based Control of Depth of Hypnosis in Anesthesia

In modern medicine the control technology influences different clinical practices (consider, for example, robotic surgery or automatic implantable defibrillators [37]). In fact, new discoveries in biology and the improved understanding of biological functions have contributed to the development of new sensors, actuators and mathematical models of the human body response to administration of drugs. This has allowed the introduction of control systems also in drug administration contexts, among which the closed-loop control of anesthesia during surgery is one of the most important [8].
