APLIKASI LOAD CELL UNTUK SISTEM MONITORING VOLUME CAIRAN INFUS

Abstract

Infusion is very important for patients who need additional fluids in the body. Intravenous fluids are injected into the body using needles, through veins. Delayed replacement of IV fluids can pose a very high risk for the patient's condition. One of the risk is that the blood can be sucked back and flow in the IV tube, because there is a difference fluid pressure between the vein and the infusion bag. Therefore, controlling the volume of infusion fluid is very necessary so the infusion bag containing the intravenous fluid must not be used up.To minimize the risk is by replacing the IV bag that must be done in a timely manner. So to find out the amount of infusion fluid volume in the infusion bag it will be designed and realized an instrument that can measure the volume of infusion fluid by weighing the weight of the infusion bag. This tool can stop the flow of IV fluids that flow into veins when the IV fluid will be depleted.The result of this research is that the system will stop the infusion fluid flow by activating the pinch valve by clamping the infusion hose so that the fluid can stop when the infusion fluid volume will run out. Discontinuation of infusion fluid occurs when the remaining infusion fluid volume is 10 mL
