IV FLUID MONITOR AND CONTROLLER

In hospitals, ICU, CCU, NICU, OT, most of the departments have patients connected to an electrolyte bottle. An assist is responsible for monitoring of the bottle. But unfortunately, due to their busy schedule, the observer may forget to change the bottle at the correct time. If the bottle is not changed, there is a fatal risk of air bubbles entering the patient’s bloodstream, which even causes immediate death. Our aim is to develop a device which detects the level of fluid in the electrolyte bottle and capable of sending notification to the nurse station and to control the flow of the electrolyte solution from the nurse station by using a common console. Such device will create assurity of non-harm conditions to patients and also helpful to monitoring of data and such data can be stored and will be useful in future. IR sensor is used to detect the level of drip bottle. This sensor is connected to microcontroller to monitor and alert the assist by the use of ESP8266 Wi-Fi module to the Blynk application. It also has features to control the rate of fluid flow from the common console. Keywords— Electrolyte bottle, Backflow of blood, Thrombosis, Blynk, Emergency, IOT based applications.
