Microcontroller Based Anesthesia Injector

This document proposes an automatic anesthesia injector system that uses a microcontroller to monitor patient vitals like temperature, respiration, and heartbeat and vary the speed of a stepper motor controlling a syringe infusion pump accordingly. The system aims to eliminate human errors by accurately monitoring vitals and controlling anesthesia delivery timing. It works by clearing timers on start, setting counters to monitor anesthesia levels, reading vitals, increasing or decreasing the stepper motor's rotation speed based on whether vitals are normal, implementing changes in the syringe pump, and repeating until reset. Future improvements could include monitoring more vitals like blood pressure.

 Conclusion
Introduction:-
Embedded system:-

nearly a computing system other than desktop


computer. Difficult to define since it covers broad range of
electronic devices.

e.g.: microwave oven, line follower, TV remote


controller etc…,

Anesthesia :-
given periodically in mL per hour ,to the patient
during surgery.
MICROCONTROLLER

 ASIP

 One chip solution

 Deals with bits


MICROCONTROLLER ARCHITECTURE
v Microcontroller manufacturers:-

Intel, Philips, Atmel, Siemens, Microchip

v Types of microcontrollers:-

 PIC MICROCONTROLLER

 INTEL8051 MICROCONTROLLER

 AT89C51 / AT89S51 MICROCONTROLLER


etc…,

Components:-

v Temperature Sensor:-
 Implemented using Thermistors for accurate measurement of
temperature.
v Respiration Sensor:-

 A Strain Gauge type Chest Transducer is a suitable


transducer to measure the respiratory activity.
v Heart Beat Sensor:-
A sensor is designed for monitoring the changes in the
heart beat of the human body.
There are 2 ways of monitoring heart beat rate information,

 ElectroCardioGram (ECG)

 Pulse signal
v ADC :-

 Successive Approximation technique for the conversion


process.

 accuracy and repeatability.

 It consumes minimal power.

v Stepper Motor:-
 A 4-phase stepper motor.

 The switch sequence can be used to rotate the motor half


steps of 0.9º clockwise or counter clockwise.
v Syringe infusion pump:-

 provides uniform flow of fluid by precisely driving the


plunger of a syringe towards its barrel.

 The pump will stop automatically.

 much lower flow rate can be obtained by using smaller


syringes.

Advantages:-
 Human errors can be eliminated, Because of accurate
timing.

 IR detector is also included in the system for monitoring


the total anesthesia level for the entire period of the
surgery time.

Future improvements:-
 Blood pressure, retinal size, age and weight need to
include.

 Specialized circuit need to be used, thereby reducing size,


cost and increasing efficiency.
Summary:-
 Microcontroller is made use to perform anesthesia injecting
operation, where the quantity to be inject and the timing is
provided.

 The stepper motor speed is varied according to the parameters


like temperature, respiration and heartbeat rate.

 Syringe infusion pump is mechanically connected to the motor.

 Making use of sensor it detects its destination where it need to


inject then by precisely drives the plunger.

 since the surgery time varies, externally it is reset or turned off.
