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 using an infusion rate model based on at least a current infusion rate, a current urinary output, and infusion rate model based constants, the new infusion rate is calculated using the following equation

Abstract
A 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 by the system. The system in at least one embodiment includes an urine sensor, an infusion pump and a processor that controls the operation of the infusion pump at least in part from a signal received from the urine sensor.

12. A system for use in resuscitating a patient comprising:
-
a urine sensor; an infusion pump; a timer; and a processor connected to said urine sensor, said infusion pump, and said timer, said processor having means for calculating an infusion rate in response to a signal from said timer and 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, and means for controlling operation of said infusion pump based on the calculated infusion rate. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for use in resuscitating a patient comprising:
-
a urine sensor; an infusion pump; receiving means for receiving patient data including percentage of total body surface area burned and time since the patient was burned; first means for calculating an initial infusion rate based on at least the received patient data; second means for calculating an urinary output error based on a difference between a target urinary output and a current urinary output provided by said urine sensor; third means for calculating a new infusion rate based on at least the calculated urinary output error multiplied by a constant calculated in part based on an exponential function with the input of hours post burn for the patient with the result being added to the current infusion rate; outputting means for outputting the new infusion rate to said infusion pump; and a timer for controlling the operation of said second means, said third means and said outputting means. - View Dependent Claims (20)
