The Arizona program: development of a modular, interactive anesthesia delivery system.

Abstract

Research by the Advanced Biotechnology Group, Department of Anesthesiology, the University of Arizona, has led to the development of many of the physical and theoretic elements necessary to the creation of a new automated anesthesia delivery system. Recognizing the obligation to provide means of the highest reliability and safety for anesthesia delivery, this group is endeavoring to bring together a compact, integrated modular system of the greatest utility to the practicing anesthesiologist.
