    Abstract: The present invention includes a system for delivering energy to an airway wall of a lung comprising an energy delivering apparatus and a PID controller having one or more variable gain factors which are rest after energy deliver has begun. The energy delivering apparatus may include a flexible elongated member and a distal expandable basket having at least one electrode for transferring energy to the airway wall and at least one temperature sensor for measuring temperature. The PID controller determines a new power set point base on an error between a preset temperature and the measured temperature. The algorithm can be Pi+1=Pi+G(αei+βei−1+γei−2) where α, β and γ are preset values and α is from 1 to 2; β is from −1 to −2; and γ is from −0.5 to 0-5. In another variation, the controller is configured to shut down if various measured parameters are exceeded such as, for example, energy, impedance, temperature, temperature differences, activation time and combinations thereof. Methods for treating a target medium using a PID algorithm are also provided.

    Abstract: A computer based system for tracking a patient's fluid volume and electrolyte (cation or anion concentration) balances, during the period extending from before surgical procedures through the recovery process, which will assist the attending physician in maintaining proper balances in the patient. The system contains automatic sensors for measuring the volumes of fluids administered to and recovered from the patient. The system also preferably contains sensors for measuring electrolyte concentrations in these fluids, and, when sensors are not available, assists the attending physician in estimating. The system assists the attending physician in creating baseline values for a patient's fluid and electrolyte values, and then accounts for the fluids going into and out of the patient to continuously track current values. Out of bounds conditions for these balances, when detected, will cause the system to issue alarms and make suggestions to the attending physician for remedial action.
