Looking at my closed computer, I felt like a stranger to myself.
This study was designed to better appreciate the impact of age in the consumption of cisatracurium with a closed loop computer controlled system.
In this study, we determined the intra-operative consumption of cisatracurium infusion and its recovery index using a closed loop computer controlled system in different aged groups.
Because many of the mathematical models in biology (as in many other disciplines) are too complicated to be analysed in a closed form, computer simulations have become the primary tool in the quantitative analysis of very large or complex biological systems.
On one side are the equivalents of the fundamentalists buttoned-down types clinging to proprietary and closed computer systems.
The Administrative Office of the Courts, the Washington office that conducted the monitoring, said in response that those judges had acted irresponsibly, because disabling the software might have exposed the judiciary's closed computer system to unauthorized outsiders.
Meanwhile, I was holding the closed computer up off the tray table for everyone to see, as it was being shut down even before he walked over.
General Anesthesia was maintained with propofol and muscle paralysis was maintained using a closed-loop computer controlled infusion of cisatracurium.
A 0.1 mg/kg initial bolus of cisatracurium was administered before tracheal intubation, followed by a closed-loop computer controlled infusion of cisatracurium to produce and maintain a 90% neuromuscular block.
Perhaps more enticing is the possibility for future iterations of a closed-loop computer protocol with evidence-based, detailed rules that capture the decision-making processes of our best clinicians.
