title: Mathematical models behind advanced simulators in medicine.
abstract: The paper presents as an example the types of mathematical models that are used in a full scale anesthesia simulator. The models vary from detailed reference models, based on fundamental physiological laws and principles, to simple script based models. A few considerations on the implementation of the models are also given.
