Closed-Loop Anaesthesia Delivery Systems (CLADS) are proven valuable tools in various medical specialties, including cardiac surgery, heart patients, and high-altitude environments. These systems combine real-time patient monitoring, automated dosing adjustments, and advanced algorithms to optimize anaesthesia delivery and enhance patient outcomes. This article will explore the benefits and considerations of working with CLADS in cardiac surgery, heart patients, and high-altitude settings.  CLADS in Cardiac Surgery  Cardiac surgery poses unique challenges due to the complex nature of the procedures and the critical condition of patients. CLADS offers several advantages in this context:  > Precise Haemodynamic Control: CLADS helps medical professionals continuously...

Target-controlled infusion, or TCI, is a method of drug administration rapidly gaining popularity in the medical field. TCI involves using computerized systems to calculate and control the infusion rate of a drug to achieve a specific target concentration in the patient's bloodstream. The history and mechanics of TCI Enhancements in understanding the pharmacodynamics of opioids and anaesthetic drugs led to the development of TCI—a method of IV drug administration in the 1980s. Initially developed by Schüttler and Schwilden, TCI leverages sophisticated computer programs to predict the plasma concentration level at a given site and helps regulate the level of anaesthetic...
