| titleOfInvention | Device and method for monitoring body fluid and electrolyte disorders |
| abstract | A device and a method for measuring body fluid-related metrics using spectrophotometry to facilitate therapeutic interventions aimed at restoring body fluid balance. The specific body fluid-related metrics include the absolute volume fraction of water in the extravascular and intravascular tissue compartments, as well as the shifts of water between these two compartments on the absorbance of water and the sum of the absorbances of non-heme proteins, lipids and water in the difference between the fraction of water in the intravascular fluid volume ("IFV") and extravascular fluid volume ("EFV") compartments are also determined using a differential method that takes advantage of the observation that pulsations caused by expansion of blood vessels in the skin as the heart beats produce changes in the received radiation at a particular wavelength that are proportional to the difference between the effective absorption of light in the blood and the surrounding tissue. This difference, integrated over time, provides a measure of the quantity of the fluid that shifts into and out of the capillaries. A mechanism for mechanically inducing a pulse is built into the device to improve the reliability of measurements of IFV-EFV under weak-pulse conditions. |
