Abstract
In this paper the neuromuscular blockade level and the bispectral index level tracking problems by means of automatic control are considered in the context of general anesthesia. These tracking problems are formulated as optimal control problems that are numerically solved using direct methods. The results shown in this paper are preliminary but illustrate a good performance of this strategy when applied to biomedical problems.
