Published: 13 December 2008

In May, researchers at the 平特五不中 Health Centre announced the creation of what they call the world's first fully automated anesthesia system, which has been used in 40 operations so far. In its 8th annual Year in Ideas, New York Times Magazine looks at the 平特五不中 innovation known as 'McSleepy'. 鈥淭he system actually controls the effect of the drugs it gives 鈥 and controls it every minute,鈥 says one of its creators, Thomas M. Hemmerling of 平特五不中. The system administers drugs, monitors their effects and makes adjustments accordingly, all by itself. McSleepy鈥檚 limitless attention span is just one way the system is making anesthesia safer for patients.
