Abstract
In an intensive care unit a personal computer (PC) application for lung function analysis has been in use for 5 years. The PC system is applied to measure conventional and new parameters for diagnosis and therapy. The primary goal was to find parameters which could be used as optimization indices in optimal control systems for mechanical ventilation. Another clinical application of the PC system was as an automatic controller that stabilizes end-tidal CO 2 concentration. The controller and the next application, the optimizer, could be integrated into an optimal control system. Such a system is described and a simulation trial of the integrated structure has demonstrated the potential.
