Intravenous Drip Infusion Monitoring System with Body Area Communication Tag
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intravenous drip infusion is a common method of administering medication. However, it is difficult for a nurse to continuously monitor the administration since it can take more than one hour. It is difficult to instantly detect problems such as removal of a drip infusion administration set by a patient or an empty bag. We propose an intravenous drip infusion monitoring system equipped with body area communication tags that can instantly detect such incidents.

Haemodynamic effects of intra-arterial and intravenous administration of prostaglandin E1 in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
The purpose of this study was to compare the haemodynamic effects of intra-arterial and intravenous prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) both injected and infused into ischaemic legs. Continuous intra-arterial infusion of PGE1 induced a significantly greater increase in skin temperature and blood flow than did intravenous drip infusion. Furthermore, intra-arterial infusion caused no steal phenomenon in the ...

Studies were conducted on clindamycin-2-phosphate, a preparation of clindamycin CLDM developed for injection, and the following results were obtained. 1) The concentration of CLDM phosphate and lincomycin (LCM) in sera were measured in rabbits following continuous intravenous infusion of 20 mg/kg over a 60 minute period, and the results were compared in a crossover test. 2) The concentration of...
متن کاملBehaviour of standard gravity-fed administration sets used for intravenous infusion.
The major factor influencing drip rate during intravenous infusion using a standard administration set is the variation in the venous pressure of the patient. Creep in the plastic material, though present, is shown to be unimportant. For steady and accurate infusion it is necessary to provide the ordinary gravity-fed administration set with some form of servo-control mechanism.
