Patent Images
1. A patient hydration system comprising:
- an infusion device for administering hydration fluid to a patient;
a patient urine output measurement device; and
a controller, responsive to the patient urine output measurement device, configured to;
control the infusion device to hydrate the patient based on the patient'"'"'s urine output, detect abnormal patient urine output measurements, and take corrective action in response to an abnormal patient urine output measurement.

Abstract
A patient hydration system and method wherein hydration fluid is administered to a patient and the patient'"'"'s urine output is measured either by weight or some other suitable way. A controller is responsive to the patient'"'"'s urine output measurement and configured to control the infusion rate to hydrate the patient based on the patient'"'"'s urine output. The controller also detects abnormal patient urine output measurements and initiates corrective action in response.

17. A patient hydration system comprising:
-
an infusion device for administering hydration fluid to a patient;
a hydration fluid measurement subsystem;
a patient urine output measurement device; and
a controller, responsive to the hydration fluid measurement subsystem and the patient urine output measurement device, configured;

19. A fluid management system for a patient injected with a contrast agent, the system comprising:
-
a console for mounting on an IV pole;
a first attachment mechanism extending from the console for hanging a urine collection chamber;
a first weighing device associated with the console and responsive to the first attachment;
a second attachment extending from the console for hanging a source of hydration fluid;
a second weighing device associated with the console and responsive to the second attachment for weighing the source of hydration fluid;
an infusion pump integrated with the console and configured to pump hydration fluid from the source of hydration fluid to the patient; and
a controller in the console, responsive to the first and second weighing devices, and configured to;
control the infusion pump to hydrate the patient based on the patient'"'"'s urine output to prevent radiocontrast nephropathy, detect abnormal patient urine output weight measurements, take corrective action in response to an abnormal patient urine output weight measurement, detect abnormal hydration fluid weight measurements, and take corrective action in response to an abnormal hydration fluid weight measurement.
