Dr Mcsleepy 是世界上第一台自动麻醉系统，它是由美国Mcgill大学的麻醉医师Thomas M. Hemmerling教授等 发明，并且用于临床的一种闭环全自动麻醉系统，虽然这是一年前的新闻，但是当时的发明者认为经过5年的使用和修正升级，该系统将会真正投入市场，对于目前我们国内临床麻醉医师短缺的局面而言，这套系统可能具有一定的启示意义。
Developing a Closed-Loop Control Method for an Automated Anesthesia System Using NI LabVIEW Software
"When engineers and scientists want to incorporate a new idea into clinical testing as quickly as possible, they need an easy-to-use programming language that gives them the best results in the least amount of time and LabVIEW is well-suited for this purpose."
