Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for controlling resuscitation in a patient. In at least one embodiment, the invention includes a fluid rate measurer, a controller electrically coupled to the fluid rate measurer, and a pump. The controller is adapted to receive signals from a physiological monitor and controls the pump.
Claims18
An automated system for controlling resuscitation of a patient, comprising:
- a fluid rate measurer;
- at least one pump;
- a physiological monitor;
- a controller electrically coupled to said fluid rate measurer, said physiological monitor, and said at least one pump, said controller adapted to receive signals transmitted by said physiological monitor and capable of executing
- a servo control computer program module for receiving values specifying a physiological variable range and controlling said at least one pump;
- and
- an error correction computer program module for performing error correction of the voltage to control said pump based on a relation of an amount of fluid expected to be pumped and an amount of fluid that is actually pumped by said pump.
4 more elements
A method for controlling resuscitation of a patient connected to a physiological monitor, the method comprising:
- receiving a physiological signal from a physiological monitor, the physiological signal is indicative of a physiological variable,
- sending a pumping signal to a pump based upon whether the physiological variable is below a target range for the physiological variable,
- receiving a flow signal from a measuring device, the flow signal is indicative of the rate at which the resuscitation fluid is being pumped into the patient;
- and
- performing error correction of the pumping signal based on the difference between an amount of fluid expected to be pumped and an amount of fluid that is actually pumped.
