  • Publication number: 20230233124
    Abstract: Urine collection systems and associated methods and devices are disclosed herein. A representative system can include a urine collection device, a flow control assembly configured to direct a urine flow from the patient to the urine collection device, and a urine measurement device including a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is configured to generate first sensor data based on a weight of the container, and the second sensor is configured to generate second sensor data based on the urine flow from the patient to the container. The system can further include non-transitory computer readable media having instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising determining a first patient urine output based on the first sensor data; and determining a second patient urine output based on the second sensor data.

  • Publication number: 20230010793
    Abstract: The present technology includes devices, systems, and method for managing a patient's urine output. In some embodiments, an exemplary method includes receiving an estimated amount of excess fluid for the patient; obtaining a urine output rate of the patient; obtaining a diuretic dosage rate of the patient; obtaining (i) a first input corresponding to a percentage of an actual amount of net fluid loss relative to the estimated amount of excess fluid, and/or (ii) a second input corresponding to an estimated amount of fluid remaining; and based on the first input and/or the second input, providing an output associated with adjusting the fluid therapy. Providing the output can include providing an indication with instructions for increasing the patient's urine output by administering an additional diuretic and/or increasing infusion of hydration fluid to the patient.

  • Patent number: 7727222
    Abstract: A patient hydration system with an infusion subsystem which infuses fluid into a patient and a urine output measurement subsystem for measuring the amount of urine output by the patient. A controller is configured to control the infusion subsystem and is responsive to the urine output measurement subsystem. The controller includes a balancing function which controls the infusion subsystem to administer fluid infused into the patient to balance the urine output with the fluid infusion. The controller also includes a taper down function which controls the infusion subsystem to administer fluid infused into the patient at a rate less than the rate of urine output by the patient.
