1. A patient hydration system comprising:
- an infusion subsystem responsive to a source of hydration fluid for infusing the patient with hydration fluid;
a urine output measurement subsystem for determining the amount of urine output by the patient; and
a controller, responsive to the urine output measurement subsystem and configured to;
receive a setting corresponding to an amount of urine to be output by the patient, and when or after said urine output measurement subsystem indicates said set amount of urine has been output by the patient, control the infusion subsystem to administer hydration fluid to the patient based on the patient'"'"'s further urine output.

Abstract
A patient hydration system with an infusion subsystem responsive to a source of hydration fluid for infusing the patient with hydration fluid. A urine output measurement subsystem determines the amount of urine output by the patient. A setting is received corresponding to an amount of urine to be output by the patient. When or after the urine output measurement subsystem indicates the set amount of urine has been output by the patient, the infusion subsystem is controlled to administer hydration fluid to the patient based on the patient'"'"'s further urine output.

7. A patient hydration method for a patient to whom a diuretic has been administered, the method comprising:
setting a patient hydration subsystem connected to the patient with an infusion subsystem responsive to a source of hydration fluid and a urine output measurement subsystem for determining the amount of urine output by the patient to;
infuse the patient with hydration fluid after a predetermined amount of urine is output by the patient, and thereafter adjust the infusion rate of the infusion subsystem based on the urine output of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
