  • System and method for providing optimal concentrations for medication infusions
    Patent number: 8224583
    Abstract: Techniques for medical infusions include determining a first infusion rate for administering a first medication to a patient. A fluid load is determined based at least in part on the first infusion rate. It is determined whether the fluid load exceeds a predetermined threshold based on a fluid maintenance rate. If it is determined that the fluid load exceeds the predetermined threshold, then an action is caused to inhibit administering the first medication to the patient at the first infusion rate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 31, 2010
    Date of Patent: July 17, 2012
    Assignee: University of Maryland, Baltimore
    Inventors: Vinay Vaidya, Elora Hilmas, LeAnthony Matthews, Mohamed Gaffoor

  • Apparatus and method for providing optimal concentrations for medication infusions
    Patent number: 7813880
    Abstract: Optimum concentrations for a drug administered as a medical infusion to a patient, particularly a pediatric patient, are determined. The determination is made using inputs regarding (1) the drug to be administered; (2) the patient; and (3) the infusion process. The optimum concentrations are displayed to a user, such as any health care provider. A chart illustrating the distributions of concentrations over a range of doses and patient weights is also provided.
