Towards System-level Modeling and Characterization of Components for Intravenous Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Problems occur regularly with intravenous therapy, especially with the flow behavior. A mechanical model can predict which components of intravenous therapy systems introduce non-ideal effects in the flow. This study concentrates on gaining quantitative information of each separate component for intravenous therapy, characterize its non-ideal effects and combine these quantities in one system-level model. The model will help in the development of a mass flow sensor which can be used in a control system for intravenous therapy.

Introduction: Application of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for the induction of generalized seizure was first introduced in 1938. It is applied for disorders as severe depression particularly for cases which do not respond to drug therapy, or during pregnancy when medication is detrimental to the fetus. The debate on the effect of ECT on blood glucose level is still contradictory. However, st...
