Automatic Intravenous Fluid Level Indication System for Hospitals
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
During recent years due to the technological advancements many sophisticated techniques has been evolved for assuring fast recovery of the patients in hospitals. For good patient care in hospitals, assessment and management of patient’s fluid and electrolyte need is the most fundamental thing required. All most in all hospital, an assist/nurse is responsible for monitoring the IV fluid level continuously. But unfortunately during most of the time, the observer may forget to change the saline bottle at correct time due to their busy schedule. This may leads to several problems to the patients such as backflow of blood, blood loss etc. To overcome this critical situation, a low cost RF based automatic alerting and indicating device is proposed where IR sensor is used as a level sensor. It is based on the principle that the IR sensor output voltage level changes when intravenous fluid level is below certain limit. A comparator is used to continuously compare the IR output with predefined threshold. When the transceiver output is negative then the Arduino controller identifies the fluid level is too low and it alerts the observer by buzzer and LCD at the control room indicates the room number of the patient for quick recovery.
