Patient hydration system with abnormal reading detection
First Claim
1. A patient hydration system comprising:
- an infusion subsystem which infuses an infusion fluid into a patient;
a urine output measurement system which measures urine output by the patient; and
a console including an input for setting a desired fluid balance; and
a controller associated with the console responsive to the urine output measurement subsystem and including a balancing function which controls the infusion subsystem to administer infusion fluid into the patient based on the input desired fluid balance and the amount of urine output by the patient, the controller further configured to;
determine one or more abnormal readings output by the infusion subsystem and/or the urine output measurement subsystem including readings indicating a lesser amount of urine than a previous reading, a greater amount of infusion fluid than a previous reading, and/or, a sharply varying urine output reading or infusion fluid infused reading, andin response to a detected abnormal reading, control the infusion subsystem according to a predetermined function.

Abstract
A patient hydration system including an infusion device for administering hydration fluid to a patient, and a hydration fluid measurement device responsive to a source of hydration fluid, a patient urine output measurement device. A controller is responsive to the hydration fluid measurement device and the patient urine output measurement device. The controller operates the infusion device, in response to the patient urine output measurement device and the hydration fluid measurement device, to hydrate the patient based on the patient'"'"'s urine output. The controller also monitors the operation history of the infusion device thereby providing redundancy in the measurement of the amount of hydration fluid administered to the patient.
