Patent ID: 8597273

Claim:
A system for use in resuscitating a patient comprising: a urine sensor; an infusion pump; and a processor connected to said urine sensor and said infusion pump, said processor having means for calculating an infusion rate using an infusion rate model based on at least a current infusion rate, a current urinary output, and infusion rate model based constants, the new infusion rate is calculated using the following equation I t = I t - 1 + e ⁡ ( t ) × I ⁢ ⁢ R ⁢ ⁢ C t UOC t where I t is the new infusion rate, I t-1 is the last infusion rate, e(t) is the urinary output error between the current urinary output and a target urinary output, IRC t is the infusion rate constant at time t based on the hours post burn, and UOC t is the urinary constant, and means for controlling operation of said infusion pump based on the calculated infusion rate.
