Burn patient resuscitation system
First Claim
1. A system for use in resuscitating a patient comprising:
- a urine sensor;
an infusion pump; and
a processor connected to said urine sensor and said infusion pump, said processor havingmeans for calculating an infusion rate based on at least the current infusion rate, the current urinary output, infusion rate model based constants, the patient'"'"'s weight, the percentage of total body surface area, and a Gaussian function centered on a target urinary output, andmeans for controlling operation of said infusion pump based on the calculated infusion rate.

Abstract
A method and system for operating a semi-closed loop and/or a closed loop resuscitation of a burn patient in view of patient information and other physiological data gathered as part of the method and/or by the system. The method in at least one embodiment includes receiving patient information, calculating an infusion rate based at least on part on a portion of the received patient information, outputting the infusion rate to an infusion pump, obtaining a urinary output, calculating a new infusion rate using infusion rate model based constants, and outputting the new infusion rate to an infusion pump. In some embodiments, the method includes notifying medical staff when problems arise, displaying information regarding the resuscitation, and setting limits regarding the infusion rates.
