ABSTRACT:
The system and method for detecting abnormalities in infusion of parenteral fluid involves producing perturbation of fluid flow by varying the flow rate of the fluid with respect to an equilibrium flow rate, measuring the pressure level, and measuring the pressure of the fluid over a period of time, to determine equilibrium pressure and a pressure response of the fluid to the perturbation, determining an integral of the difference between the equilibrium pressure and the pressure response, determining resistance to fluid flow, determining a second integral of the difference between the pressure response and equilibrium pressure multiplied by time, and determining compliance by dividing the second integral by the first integral. Resistance and compliance values are displayed, and an alarm is generated when the resistance or compliance parameters fall outside of reference ranges.
