PROJECT TITLE: Smart Anesthesia Delivery and Monitoring System


Introduction

Objective
The aim of this project is to design and develop a smart anesthesia delivery system that
ensures precise dosing and real-time monitoring of patient vitals during surgery. The system
will integrate sensors to monitor parameters like heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and
respiratory rate. Using automated algorithms, it will adjust the anesthesia dosage
dynamically to optimize patient safety and reduce the risks of overdose or underdose.

Problem Statement
Current anesthesia delivery systems rely heavily on manual control by anesthesiologists,
which can be prone to human error or delays in response during critical situations. Factors
such as sudden changes in heart rate, blood pressure, or oxygen levels require quick
adjustments in anesthesia dosage. The goal is to develop a system that can monitor the
patient’s vitals in real-time and adjust drug delivery automatically, ensuring the correct
level of anesthesia throughout the procedure.

4. Project Scope
The Smart Anesthesia Delivery System will:

 Monitor ECG, heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO₂, and body temperature in real-
time.
 Use PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control algorithms to adjust
anesthesia dosage.
 Provide visual and audio alerts for critical events.
 Log data continuously for post-operative analysis.
 Allow manual intervention by anesthesiologists, ensuring full control if needed.

5. Key Features
1. Real-Time Vital Monitoring:
o ECG, pulse oximeter, and respiratory sensors will collect vital data.
o Anomalies (e.g., bradycardia, hypoxia) will trigger alarms.
2. Automated Anesthesia Adjustment:
o Dosage will be adjusted automatically based on patient vitals using a
feedback control loop.
o A PID controller will be employed to ensure smooth drug delivery.
3. User-Friendly Interface:
o A touchscreen interface for monitoring and manual adjustments.
o Graphical trends of vitals and anesthesia levels in real-time.
4. Data Logging:
o All vital parameters and drug delivery data will be recorded for future
reference and compliance.
5. Safety Mechanisms:
o Failsafe Mode: In case of any hardware failure, the system will alert the
medical team immediately and switch to manual mode.
o Pre-configured Drug Limits: Prevents accidental overdosing.

6. System Design Overview


Hardware Components

1. ECG Sensor – for heart rate and rhythm monitoring.


2. Pulse Oximeter (SpO₂ Sensor) – to monitor oxygen saturation levels.
3. Flow Sensor – to measure drug flow rate.
4. Temperature Sensor – to track patient temperature.
5. Microcontroller/Processor – (Arduino/Raspberry Pi) to process sensor data and
control drug delivery.
6. Peristaltic Pump or Syringe Pump – to deliver anesthesia.
7. Solenoid Valves – to control drug flow.
8. LCD/Touchscreen Display – for user interface.
9. Buzzer and LED Indicators – to alert staff during critical events.

Software Components

1. PID Control Algorithm – to adjust anesthesia dosage dynamically.


2. Real-time Dashboard – showing vital signs and drug delivery trends.
3. Alarm System – triggers alerts for abnormal vital readings.
4. Data Logging Module – stores patient data for post-procedure review.

System Workflow
1. Initialization:
o The system initializes sensors and begins monitoring patient vitals.
2. Monitoring:
o ECG, pulse oximeter, and other sensors feed data continuously to the
microcontroller.
3. Analysis & Control:
o The control algorithm compares vitals with pre-set thresholds to determine
whether the anesthesia level is optimal.
o If adjustments are needed, the system increases or decreases drug delivery
through the peristaltic pump.
4. Alerts and Manual Intervention:
o In case of abnormal vitals (e.g., low SpO₂), the system alerts the medical
team.
o Manual intervention is possible at any time via the touchscreen interface.
