Smart Intravenous Fluid Monitoring System

Abstract

Simple electrolyte bottles are used in hospital without any proper indication.This creates a trouble to patient as the blood will start flowing in reverse flow from body towards bottle. To overcome this critical situation, an IoT based automatic alerting and indicating device is proposed where sensor is used to monitor the level. For monitoring the level, the capacity of the bottle is needed so a mobile application which gets the capacity as input from the hospital staff. When intravenous fluid level is less than fixed threshold value, it alerts the nurse through the LCD display,mobile application, webpage and buzzer. In a situation that the staffs are not available to change the bottle, solenoid valve will shut the flow of fluid automatically.The departments of hospital require similar kind of automatic monitoring and indication system. Health care industries can also be one of the users.Thisarrangement can be helpful in small, medium and large size of hospitals and also it valuable during home care. This supervising system will decrease the chances of patients risk and boosts the accuracy of health care in hospital. The regular need to check physically the level of bottles is avoided. This project is very useful to monitor the patients during night times. The serious risk of air bubbles entering the patient’s bloodstream is avoided which is a serious threat as air bubbles in blood can cause immediate death. This application setup will generate assurance of safe situation to patients.
