Abstract

This Letter presents the implementation in a hardware device of the mean arterial pressure (MAP) response model of patients subjected to the infusion of the vasoconstrictor drug phenylephrine, enabling the development of automatic control systems in the future. The proposed model was firstly developed in a software platform with Simulink/MatLab using block libraries based on previous research carried out with animals and then implemented on hardware using a single-board computer with microcontroller and code generated in C/C++. The responses of MAP were simulated and compared using the proposed software and hardware model, considering the dynamic effects of several patients. The results showed that the hardware model presented 0.43% as the largest absolute percentage error observed in all trials, for an injection rate of the drug varying in steps with levels of 40 ml/h (AU)
