An Intraoperative Fluid Therapy Fuzzy Logic Control System for Renal Transplantation

In this study, a fuzzy logic system is used to control fluid balance during RT by changes in blood pressure, heart rate and CVP value. Currently, the administration of intravascular volume is carried out primarily based on the experience and expertise of the anesthesiologist as there is no analytical method available to estimate the transplant patient's fluid level. To increase kidney viability in transplant surgery, patient safety and comfort during RT is one of the most important potential benefits of the system. For this project, A total of 30 kidney transplantation operations performed in Akdeniz University Organ Transplantation Center were followed and all physiological data recorded during the last year. This data base is used for contribution of the fuzzy system membership functions and to determine base variable intervals. Also the developed system was tested with these operations records.
