Systemic Fluid Balance Control in Hemodialysis Machines with ANFIS

摘要

Hemodialysis machines are essential in improving life quality of patients with chronic kidney disease and improving hospital outcome in case of acute kidney injury. Maintaining and regulating patient fluid balance is a crucial problem amongst other control problems. Although, the fluid balance control is solved in these machines, there is no documented evidence of solutions, which targets the fluid balance of the patient directly on systemic level. This paper describes a systemic control method with MIMO ANFIS control, where the main target is to provide strict control of peristaltic pumps while the control algorithm fulfills not only pump related requirement but also satisfies the highest fluid balance related expectations. During the research, the practical applicability was being kept in focus.
