Abstract
Mechanical ventilation of preterm neonates requires tight regulation of the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), which can be achieved by a controller. A core challenge of such a controller is the interaction between automatically controlled mechanical ventilation and physiologically regulated spontaneous breathing. To include spontaneous breathing in the control loop, we extend our previously developed controller by the principle of Mandatory Minute Ventilation. In preliminary experiments with preterm lambs the controller behavior was adequate. Further evaluation and a more accurate estimation of PaCO2 are needed.
