Abstract

The automation of a portable extracorporeal support system may greatly help people who suffer from cardiogenic shock by providing them with an optimal oxygen perfusion and avoid mult-organ failure while being transported to a hospitaL This however requires the creation of tools that help in the design of the ideal controUer. In this paper a simulation environment is described were a cardiovascular model from the ISR Physiome database was used together with a model of a portable extracorporeal support system. AdditionaUy a model of an oxygenatorlblender model is introduced to aUow the simulation of oxygen perfusion. Fuzzy controlling was used for automation since it aUows a straightforward implementation of expert knowledge. Through the simulation environment ditTerent scenarios may be created where intensive testing is possible and constant repetition for control optimization. Initial simulation results are given of the fuzzy controller adjusting the extracorporeal flow rate and oxygen administration for a case of low cardiac output.
