AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for assessing catheter sites are highly subjective, making it difficult to detect complications in a timely manner. Furthermore, the recording and workflow are cumbersome, and there is a lack of standardized temperature sensing methods.
A chromium sensor is used, comprising first and second regions, one near and one far from the catheter insertion site, respectively. The chromium material responds to changes in stimuli such as temperature, pH value, and mechanical stress, providing visual indications and recording the condition of the catheter insertion site.
It enables standardized and visual assessment of catheter insertion sites, reduces subjectivity, simplifies the recording process, and improves the timeliness and accuracy of complication detection.
