The complexity of these processes and the necessity of design of special apparatuses for their control, which are based on the usage of methods and facilities of modern information technology, are empha- sized. The problem of development of the functionally complete set of executing elements with expanded func- tional capabilities, on the base of which the corresponding universal apparatus is developed, is posed and solved. The multilevel structure of intelligent control that allows us to design a number of apparatuses of artificial ven- tilation of the lungs with different levels of intelligence is suggested. Various facilities of intelligent control, such as a base of fuzzy rules and expert systems, are included in the control loop of the ventilation process.  Ключевые слова Intelligent Control Systems, Fuzzy Information Processing, Lungs Ventilation Control
