| Research Abstract |
Is is well known that CO^2 has a profound influences on many physiological func- tions. To regulate expiratory gas concentrations of animals under artificial ventilation, a new control system was developed. The regulation was performed by changing the opening periods of magnetic valves through which gases (CO_2 and O_2 were added to the inspired air using the discrete-time adaptive control method< Ther system was composed of a respiratory gas monitor (Respina 1H26, NEC- San-ei) a A/D converter (Analog-pro DMA, Canopus), a parallel input-output module (PIO 16/16T(987), Cotec), a valve controller (Tyokai-rika), a personal computer (PC-9801MM2, NEC) and a respirator. The control program is written in Basic, and controlled variables (O_2 and CO_2 concentrations)and manipulated variables (opening period of the valve) and output of the reference model were displayd on a CRT. By introducing a numerical co-processor (8087) computation time was shortened so that the ventilation rate up to 60/min could be employed. Even in circumstances that the inspired and expired gas concentrations were reversed during tracking a changed set point, correct controlled varbiables were dupplirf yo yhr vonytollrt by sampling from instantaneous gas concentrations at a fixed interval determined by previous respiratory cycles. In the anes- thetized, paralyzed and artificially ventrilated cats, this system could control expiratory CO_2 concentration within + 0.1% around a desired level in a steady state and provided fast and smooth tracking of a new set point. This system will provide a useful tool for studying autonomic functions by controlling one of many "background activities", the respiratory gas concentration.
