Computer simulation of a patient end tidal CO2 controller system.
A computer model of the patient end tidal CO2 controller system has been developed and tested in simulation trials. It is intended to aid in finding the appropriate PI (proportional-integral) controller settings by means of computer simulation instead of real experiments with the system. The latter approach is costly, time consuming and sometimes impossible to perform. The simulator consists of two equations: the patient equation and the PI controller equation. The software has been written in the C language and can be run on an IBM-PC/XT. Some examples of the simulation trials, illustrating the choice of controller settings, are given.
