Patient hydration system with bolus function
First Claim
1. A patient hydration system comprising:
- an infusion subsystem including a pump which infuses a hydration fluid into a patient to hydrate a patient;
a urine output measurement subsystem which measures urine output by the patient;
a console including a user input for setting a desired fluid balance, the console further including a user input for the user to set a desired bolus amount of the hydration fluid; and
a controller associated with the console and responsive to the urine output measurement subsystem and including a balancing function which controls the infusion subsystem pump to administer hydration fluid into the patient to replace fluid lost in urine based on the user set desired fluid balance and the amount of urine output by the patient for a therapy duration;
the controller further including a bolus function configured to control the infusion subsystem pump to infuse the user set desired bolus amount of hydration fluid in a prescribed time period in response to a user request, in which the user set desired bolus amount of the hydration fluid infused into the patient is in addition to the desired fluid balance.

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.

23. A patient hydration system comprising:
-
an infusion subsystem including a pump which infuses saline into a patient to hydrate a patient; a urine output measurement subsystem which measures urine output by the patient; a console including a user input for setting a desired fluid balance, the console further including a user input for the user to set a desired bolus amount of the saline; and a controller associated with the console and responsive to the urine output measurement subsystem and including a balancing function which controls the infusion subsystem pump to administer saline into the patient to replace fluid lost in urine based on the user set desired fluid balance and the amount of urine output by the patient for a therapy duration; the controller further including a bolus function configured to control the infusion subsystem pump to infuse the user set desired bolus amount of saline in a prescribed time period in response to a user request, in which the user set desired bolus amount of the saline infused into the patient is in addition to the desired fluid balance.
