Simulation of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin solution, RBC suspension and hemosome by a neural network system.
Hemoglobin-based artificial blood substitutes as oxygen carrier is advantageous over current plasma expander. In this study, oxygen saturation of hemoglobin solution, red blood cell suspension and artificial blood substitute under various conditions were measured by yeast-consuming-oxygen experiments instead of spectrophotometer. The empirical results were assigned into training feedforward back-propagation neural network system in order to simulate the oxygen saturation model modulated by those factors such as pH, [Cl-], [2,3-DPG], pO2 and pCO2. Consequently, this neural network is able to simulate accurately the oxygen saturation of Hb solution. The prediction of hemosome is not agreed well possible because of the resistance of transport of oxygen. However, the results showed neural net can offer a simple and convenient way in comparison with the conventional methods, especially in dealing with complex and ambiguous problem.
