Hereinafter, a process of calculating the remaining amount of the liquid according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of calculating the remaining amount of fluid according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 5, the administration rate per drop of the liquid can be measured (S500). The
Next, the fluid amount correction value corresponding to the infusion rate per one drop of the measured fluid may be obtained (S510), and the fluid amount information per one drop may be calculated (S520). Here, the correction value for the amount of fluid is a value for compensating for the error of the amount of fluid per drop which varies depending on the rate of application of the fluid, and can be used to more accurately detect the amount of fluid per drop actually dropped depending on the rate of application of the fluid.
More specifically, it is possible to obtain a fluid amount correction value corresponding to the infusion rate per one drop of the fluid measured using the fluid amount correction value table per drop according to the predetermined infusion rate of the infusion fluid, and use the obtained fluid amount correction value So that the amount of fluid per drop can be calculated. The amount of liquid per drop can be calculated by substituting the correction amount of the liquid amount in the [Equation 1] below.
[Equation 1]
Amount of fluid per drop ≒ Predefined reference fluid volume + fluid volume correction value C (gtt)
Here, the predetermined reference liquid amount is the amount of liquid amount calculated according to the information displayed on the liquid set, for example, when the information displayed on the liquid set is 1 ml? 20 drops, the standard liquid amount per drop may be 0.05 ml.
That is, it is possible to calculate the amount of the fluid amount per drop actually dropped according to the rate of the infusion by applying the correction amount of the fluid amount according to the infusion rate of the fluid to the reference fluid amount.
Then, the remaining amount of the liquid can be calculated using the liquid amount information per drop (S530).
The amount of infusion per unit volume calculated in step S520 is accumulated to calculate the infusion volume. More specifically, the infusion volume is calculated by adding all the infusion volume information per drop corresponding to each of them, and the infusion volume is subtracted from the predetermined infusion volume The remaining amount of the liquid can be calculated. For example, if the fluid amount information per each drop is 1 ml, 2 ml, 0.5 ml, 1 ml, 3 ml, 1.5 ml, 1 ml, it can be calculated that the injection amount is 10 ml, If it is determined as ml, it can be calculated that the remaining amount of the liquid is 10 ml by subtracting 10 ml from 20 ml.
Meanwhile, a process of calculating the amount of fluid per drop and calculating the remaining amount of fluid according to another embodiment of the present invention is as follows.
The average rate of administration can be calculated by accumulating the administration rate per drop of the sap measured by the
Then, the fluid amount correction value corresponding to the average administration rate calculated using the fluid amount correction value table per one drop according to the predetermined infusion rate of the infusion solution can be obtained. Here, the fluid amount correction value is an average fluid amount correction value corresponding to the average administration rate, and the average fluid amount information per drop can be calculated using the average fluid amount correction value. That is, the average amount of liquid amount information per drop can be calculated by adding the average liquid amount correction value to the predetermined reference liquid amount, as in [Expression 1].
Next, the remaining amount of the liquid can be calculated by multiplying the average liquid amount information per droplet by the number of accumulated droplets to calculate the injection amount, and subtracting the injection amount from the predetermined liquid amount. For example, if the average fluid amount information is 1 ml, it can be calculated that the injection amount is 7 ml by multiplying 1 ml by 7, which is the cumulative number of droplets. If the fluid amount is 20 ml, It can be calculated that the remaining amount of the liquid is 13 ml.
