“…The converter sends a signal to the microcontroller that activates the voice module (sound recording), alerting the medical staff. The coupling of the load cell for measuring the weight of the IV bag (through fluid level detection in the bag), and the sensor for measuring the patient's pulse, just before the cannula, is shown in [6]. If the bag empties or the patient's pulse is outside the allowed values, then the microcontroller sends an alarm to the receiver at the nurse room via the Zigbee module.…”

Intravenous (IV) infusion therapy allows the infusion fluid to be inserted directly into the patient’s vein. It is used to place medications directly into the bloodstream or for blood transfusions. The probability that a hospitalized patient will receive some kind of infusion therapy, intravenously, is 60–80%. The paper presents a smart IV infusion dosing system for detection, signaling, and monitoring of liquid in an IV bottle at a remote location. It consists of (i) the sensing and computation layer—a system for detection and signaling of fluid levels in the IV bottle and a system for regulation and closing of infusion flow, (ii) the communication layer—a wireless exchange of information between the hardware part of the system and the client, and (iii) the user layer—monitoring and visualization of IV therapy reception at a remote location in real time. All layers are modular, allowing upgrades of the entire system. The proposed system alerts medical staff to continuous and timely changes of IV bottles, which can have positive effects on increasing the success of IV therapy, especially in oncology patients. The prescribed drip time of IV chemotherapy for the full effect of cytostatics should be imperative.

“…A constituição do sistema mecânico do SPODi_Med foi feita empregando uma estrutura de tripé de fotografia, como base de fixação dos componentes do sensor e os descartáveis hospitalares (equipo e reservatório). A principal função do sistema mecânico é garantir a fixação do elemento do sensor sem ocorrência de deformações mecânicas na sua estrutura devido à aplicação da força peso do líquido contido no reservatório de medicamento, que pode variar o seu peso de acordo com o conteúdo da embalagem (tipicamente os volumes nominais mais empregados são: 50mL, 100mL, 250mL, 500mL e 1L [Bhavasaar et al 2016]).…”

Infusion procedures are among the most common in hospitals and have a high volume of adverse events in their operation. This paper presents a simulator, called SPODi, that allows an agile construction of the operational profiles of intravenous devices, enabling them to be evaluated when adverse events occur during the period of use. SPODi simulator was validated with real data extracted from a physical prototype (SPODi _Med) which was specifically build with this function. The results obtained, considering a 95% confidence interval when applying the t Student statistical test, indicate that SPODi can be used to infer the behavior of real infusion equipment.Resumo. Os procedimentos de infusão estão entre os mais usuais em hospitais e apresentam um volume elevado de eventos adversos na sua operação. Este artigo apresenta um simulador, denominado SPODi, que permite uma construção ágil dos perfis operacionais de dispositivos intravenosos, possibilitando que os mesmos possam ser avaliados quando da ocorrência de eventos adversos durante o período de seu uso. O simulador SPODi foi validado com dados reais extraídos de um protótipo físico (SPODi_Med) construído especificamente para essa finalidade. Os resultados obtidos, considerando um intervalo de confiança de 95 % quando da aplicação do teste estatístico t Student, apontam que o SPODi pode ser empregado para inferir o comportamento de um equipamento real de infusão. IntroduçãoOs dispositivos médicos modernos, com a intenção de qualificar o esforço de gerência por parte dos profissionais da saúde, muitas vezes exploram operações autônomas nos diferentes procedimentos que realizam [Dey et al. 2018]. Entre os procedimentos clínicos mais rotineiros em hospitais, estão os tratamentos que empregam os sistemas intravenosos. Cerca de 80% dos pacientes hospitalizados carecem de recursos terapêuticos intravenosos [Cheng et al. 2016]. A entrega de medicamento intravenosa é prescrita considerando as ações das diferentes concentrações da absorção do medicamento na corrente sanguínea ao longo do tempo para diferentes métodos de entrega.Os equipamentos de infusoterapia são utilizados em situações que exigem diferentes decisões por parte dos profissionais de saúde, as quais geram impactos diversos no tratamento do paciente. Assim, uma forma de contribuir para as decisões médicas consiste

Intravenous (IV) therapy is a standard form of administration of fluids and drugs to those individuals for whom oral administration cannot be done. It is used for several purposes like transfusion of blood, to treat dehydration and to fix electrolyte imbalance. However, the IV setup used in hospitals requires constant monitoring of several parameters by the clinicians such as the flow rate and level of liquid in the IV bag. A failure to do so will result in several complications which can be difficult to deal with, especially in large clinical settings. To facilitate easier monitoring of the infusion process, several systems have been developed over the years. Although the overall purpose of these systems is to monitor the flow rate and raise a warning in case of any anomaly, the techniques used to develop these systems and the functionalities fulfilled by them are subject to considerable variation. In this survey, we discuss the various systems developed to monitor the intravenous infusion process. Keyword-Intravenous therapy, Backflow, Automatic locking, Flow Rate, IV tube I. INTRODUCTION Intravenous therapy is a form of treatment where essential fluids and drugs are passed into the body through the veins [1]. It is a routine method of infusion for individuals for ingestion of food or drugs is not possible. It is commonly used to tackle ailments leading to electrolyte imbalance, in the management of dehydration, fever, anaemia and also to administer chemotherapy [1], [2]. It is usually administered in the upper limbs due to an increased risk of thrombophlebitis during line placement in the lower limbs [3]. An intravenous (IV) setup consists of drip bottle, drip chamber, an IV tube and a roller clamp. The drip bottle is suspended from a stand at a height from the patient. The drip chamber is connected to the bottle at its' opening. The roller clamp enables the regulation of flow rate measured in drops per unit time. The infusion in the drip chamber reaches the patient as a result of the pressure difference between the drip chamber and the venous pressure [2]. Once the volume of liquid in the bottle goes below a certain level, the pressure is reversed causing backflow of blood into the capillary tube which has several adverse effects such as blockage of tube, loss of blood, swelling, infection hypothermia [4] and blood leakage [5]. Another severe effect is air embolism which is caused by emptying of the reservoir or any openings in the IV system [6] this causes an air lock in the pulmonary valve which restricts blood flow causing tissue hypoxia, reduced cardiac output and in extreme cases cause death. Other drawbacks of IV include contamination due to microbes and backflow of patient fluids and changes in the drip rate [2], [7], [8]. Changes in the infusion rate both ways can cause adverse effects. If the patient receives less fluid than needed, it can result in dehydration and metabolic imbalance. Otherwise, if more fluid reaches the patent, it can cause hypertension, electrolyte imbalance and metabolic disturba...
