A system and method are provided for determining intravenous blood levels of a target compound contained in a blood vessel of a patient. The method includes the operation of detecting concentrations of the target compound within a patient's blood using a sensor device configured to optically test blood at a location within the blood vessel. Another operation is calculating a measured amount of a therapeutic compound to administer into the patient's bloodstream based on the concentrations of the target compound in the blood. The measured amount of therapeutic compound may then be pumped through the catheter into the patient's blood. |
