1. A method for providing decision-assist during resuscitation of a patient, the method comprising:
- receiving patient data including a percentage of total body surface area;
calculating an initial infusion rate based on at least the patient data;
outputting the initial infusion rate;
obtaining a current urinary output;
calculating a new infusion rate based on at least the current infusion rate, the current urinary output, an infusion rate constant, an urinary constant; and
outputting the new infusion rate.

Abstract
A method for providing decision-assist to medical staff resuscitating a burn patient includes receiving patient information, calculating an infusion rate, outputting the infusion rate, obtaining a urinary output, calculating a new infusion rate using infusion rate model based constants, and outputting the new infusion rate. In some embodiments, the method includes notifying medical staff when problems arise, displaying information regarding the resuscitation, and setting limits regarding the infusion rates.

19. A method for providing decision-assist during resuscitation of a patient, the method comprising:
-
receiving patient data including a percentage of total body surface area; calculating an initial infusion rate based on at least the patient data; outputting the initial infusion rate; obtaining a current urinary output; calculating a new infusion rate based on at least the current infusion rate, the current urinary output, an infusion rate constant that uses an exponential function using in part an amount of time post burn, an urinary constant selected based on time post burn; outputting the new infusion rate; and repeating obtaining, calculating, and outputting the new infusion rate until the shorter of a predetermined amount of time or a determination is made resuscitation is not needed. - View Dependent Claims (20)
