Coronary Artery Disease
Conditions
Keywords
Patients entering the post-operative cardiac intensive care unit following coronary artery reconstruction surgery.
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the accuracy, safety and robustness of a single-input-single output (SISO) model-based predictive closed-loop system to guide patient-individualized ICU sedation.
Interventions
The single-input-single-output (SISO) model-based predictive closed-loop system will be used to guide patient-individualized ICU sedation with propofol

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The propofol and remifentanil dose needed to keep the BIS within the target range | During sedation |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The hemodynamic stability of the patient, being defined as: - mean arterial blood pressure between 65 and 85 - heart rate around 80 beats'/min - diuresis 0.5 - 1 ml/kg/hour - normal pH - normal cardiac index as defined by a CI > 2.2 - Sv02 > 60 % | During sedation |
