Claps 
Background Conventionally,
medicines that control blood pressure (BP) during operation and in ICU administered by doctors and nurses.
|
Existing Technology
|
CLAPS
|
|
No system commercialized across
the world for automated control of blood pressure either during surgery or in
ICU.
|
First system likely to be
commercialized for automated control of hemodynamic (blood pressure, heart
rate, cardiac output).
|
|
Earlier research produced
automated control of only low blood pressure with single drug.
|
CLAPS can control low and high
blood pressure along with heart rate- multiple drugs.
|
|
Currently physician changes the
doses of drugs delivered through infusion pumps to control/ optimize high and
low BP in operation theatre and ICU.
|
In CLAPS, a computer with an
algorithm will control the medicines and their dosages delivered through
infusion pumps in ICU/ operation theatre.
|
Objectives: To design closed loop automated
blood pressure control system Prototype 
Implications Safer Delivery of haemodynamic
drugs during operation and in ICU. Better
monitoring of patients in ICU
Better
documentation of events and drug charts in critical patients |
