[0001] The present invention relates to an infusion management technology, in particular to an infusion system and a segmented infusion method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Generally speaking, medical staff can adjust infusion volumes based on doctor's instructions. However, traditional methods require medical staff to manually operate the infusion device to adjust the infusion volume. This carries the risk of human error and requires additional medical staff to review the process to prevent errors. Furthermore, some patients may need to enter multiple infusion records for different treatments. Therefore, out of a sense of responsibility for patient health, improvements to infusion procedures are necessary.

[0003] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, wherein Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an infusion system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a tree diagram of patient information 103 and medical order information 104, and Figure 3 is a flow chart of a segmented infusion method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The segmented infusion method of Figure 3 can be implemented by the infusion system 100 of Figure 1.

[0018] 1 and 2 , the infusion system 100 includes a receiving module 110, a server 120, a transmission module 130, and an infusion device 140. The receiving module 110 is, for example, a Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other type of wireless receiver and wireless communication module, for receiving patient information 103 and corresponding medical order information 104 from a medical system 101. The server 120 can be a network host or a database server for providing file management, data storage, and editing. The server 120 may include a central processing unit, a hard disk, a memory, and the like. The server 120 is connected to the receiving module 110 to receive the medical order information 104 and the patient information 103 from the receiving module 110, and store the data in a storage module 122 (such as a hard disk or a memory).

[0019] Transmission module 130 , for example, comprises a wireless transceiver and a wireless communication module with a transmission interface 132 supporting Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other communication protocols. Transmission module 130 is used to serially connect to server 120 and infusion device 140 and communicate with server 120 and infusion device 140 to increase data transmission rates. Furthermore, receiving module 110 and transmission module 130 may also utilize transmission lines (e.g., optical fibers, cables) or Ethernet networks to transmit data, and are not limited to wireless networks or wireless transceivers. Step S210 : Obtain a first image and a second image generated by the microscope system capturing a reference pattern through a first filter and a second filter, respectively.

[0020] The infusion device 140 is, for example, an intravenous injection device and may include an infusion pump 142, an infusion bottle 143, an infusion cannula 144, a management interface 148 for controlling the infusion flow rate and volume, and a display interface 146 for displaying the doctor's order information 104 and the patient's information 103. The management interface 148 utilizes, for example, a microcomputer to provide a stable supply of medication, record, track, and manage medication dosages, and issue an alarm to notify medical personnel if an emergency occurs.

[0021] However, in traditional practices, during intravenous infusion, nurses must manually set infusion parameters according to the doctor's instructions and monitor the IV infusion every hour to ensure it is functioning properly and maintaining an accurate flow rate, which incurs considerable labor costs. To avoid manual operation of the infusion device 140 by medical staff and reduce labor costs, this embodiment utilizes the server 120 to intelligently control the entire infusion system 100. The server 120 can directly import the segmented infusion parameters 109 from the doctor's order information 104 into the infusion device 140, thus avoiding the risk of mistyped infusion parameters when manually entering infusion parameters.

[0022] Referring to Figure 2 , patient information 103 includes a patient name 105 and a corresponding bed location 106. Medical order information 104 includes at least one medication name 107, at least one medication dosage 108, and segmented infusion parameters 109. Segmented infusion parameters 109 may include at least one infusion volume 111, at least one infusion flow rate 112, and an interval 113 between any two infusion segments. The infusion volume 111 is equal to the infusion flow rate 112 multiplied by the infusion time.

[0023] A doctor can write a prescription based on a patient's symptoms and list the name of the medication 107, the dosage 108, and the step-wise infusion parameters 109 in the prescription information 104. For example, in FIG1 , a doctor can log into a medical system 101 via an input device 102 and record patient information 103 and prescription information 104 in the medical system 101. Furthermore, the medical system 101 can transmit the patient information 103 and prescription information 104 to a server 120 via a wireless module to a receiving module 110. The input device 102 can be a personal handheld electronic device (e.g., a mobile phone, laptop, or tablet) or a terminal device (e.g., a desktop computer).

[0024] As shown in FIG3 , the server 120 receives patient information 103 and corresponding medical order information 104 from the medical system 101 (step S110), and the server 120 can transmit the medical order information 104 to the infusion device 140 at the bed position 106 based on the patient information 103 (step S120). After the nursing staff confirms that the medical order information 104 and the patient information 103 are correct, they notify the infusion device 140 to perform segmented infusion according to the segmented infusion parameters 109 (step S130). Therefore, the nursing staff does not need to manually set the infusion parameters according to the medical order, and the infusion system 100 automatically monitors whether the intravenous infusion function is normal or maintains the correct infusion volume 111 and infusion flow rate 112 by the server 120, thereby saving labor costs and reducing workload.

[0025] In one embodiment, the segmented infusion parameters 109 may include multiple segmented infusion parameters. The following embodiments describe in detail the various steps of segmented infusion. Please refer to Figure 4, which shows a detailed description of the various steps S141 to S149 of segmented infusion. First, the server 120 binds the patient information 103 to the infusion device 140 (step S141). Then, the server 120 receives information from the medical system 101 (such as patient information 103 and medical order information 104), takes out the segmented infusion parameters 109 corresponding to the patient and transmits them to the infusion device 140 (step S142). Then, the infusion device 140 lists the infusion parameters of each segment based on the received content (medical order information 104) (step S143). After confirmation, the nurse starts the infusion device 140 and starts the first segment of infusion (step S144). Then, the infusion parameters of this segment (drug and infusion volume / flow rate) are executed (step S145). Determine whether this infusion segment is completed (step S146). If the infusion is not completed, continue this infusion segment (step S147). If the infusion is completed, determine whether this infusion segment is the last infusion segment (step S148). If it is not the last infusion segment, start the next infusion segment (step S149) and return to step S145. If it is the last infusion segment, the infusion segment is completed.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 5, which illustrates an embodiment of segmented infusion. In Figure 5, the segmented infusion parameters 109 include, for example, a first segment infusion parameter A1, a second segment infusion parameter A2, and a third segment infusion parameter A3. In addition, the segmented infusion parameters 109 may also include intervals T1 and T2 between any two infusion segments. In one embodiment, the first segment infusion parameter A1 includes a first infusion volume and a first infusion flow rate, the second segment infusion parameter A2 includes a second infusion volume and a second infusion flow rate, and the third segment infusion parameter A3 includes a third infusion volume and a third infusion flow rate. There is a first interval T1 between the first and second segments of infusion, and a second interval T2 between the second and third segments of infusion.

[0027] The first to third infusion volumes are, for example, between 50 milliliters (ml) and 250 milliliters (ml). The first to third infusion flow rates are, for example, between 50 milliliters / hour (ml / hour) and 500 milliliters / hour. The first and second interval times T1 and T2 are, for example, between 10 and 30 minutes. The infusion volume 111, infusion flow rate 112, and interval time 113 in each segment of infusion parameters can be appropriately adjusted according to the doctor's medical order information 104 and the effect of the treatment. If the doctor determines that there is no need for a period of time between each segment of infusion, the interval time 113 in the medical order information 104 can also be set to zero, so that the next segment of infusion can be started directly after one segment of infusion is completed. The present invention is not limited to this.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 6, which illustrates another embodiment of segmented infusion. In Figure 6, the segmented infusion parameters 109 include, for example, a first segment infusion parameter A1, a second segment infusion parameter B1, and a third segment infusion parameter C1. The first segment infusion parameter A1 corresponds to a first drug, the second segment infusion parameter B1 corresponds to a second drug, and the third segment infusion parameter C1 corresponds to a third drug. The first drug, the second drug, and the third drug may be drugs with different ingredients. In one embodiment, the first segment infusion parameter A1 includes a first infusion volume and a first infusion flow rate corresponding to the first drug, the second segment infusion parameter B1 includes a second infusion volume and a second infusion flow rate corresponding to the second drug, and the third segment infusion parameter C1 includes a third infusion volume and a third infusion flow rate corresponding to the third drug.

[0029] As shown in Figure 6, the infusion device 140 may include an infusion pump 142, multiple infusion bottles 143, and multiple infusion cannulas 144. For example, three infusion bottles 143 and three infusion cannulas 144 are provided. Each infusion bottle 143 can contain a drug, and each infusion cannula 144 is connected to a corresponding infusion bottle 143. The infusion pump 142 can selectively connect to one of the infusion cannulas 144 to provide segmented infusion of a drug. For example, the infusion device 140 may first perform a first segment of infusion of a first drug, then, after a period of time, perform a second segment of infusion of a second drug, and then, after another period of time, perform a third segment of infusion of a third drug. To address the aforementioned technical issues, in step S250, the processor 12 may calculate an average offset of the second image 32 based on the offsets of all second squares 320 in the second image 32. Based on the average offset, the processor 12 may perform pixel shifting on the second image 32 to smooth out any miscalculated offsets.

[0030] The first to third infusion volumes range, for example, from 50 ml to 250 ml. The first to third infusion flow rates range, for example, from 50 ml / hour to 500 ml / hour. The infusion volume 111, infusion flow rate 112, and medication sequence and interval 113 in each infusion parameter segment can be appropriately adjusted based on the physician's order information 104 and the effectiveness of the treatment, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 7, which illustrates another embodiment of segmented infusion. In Figure 7, segmented infusion parameters 109, for example, include first-segment infusion parameters A1 and second-segment infusion parameters B1+C1. First-segment infusion parameters A1 correspond to a first drug, while second-segment infusion parameters B1+C1 correspond to a second and third drug. The first, second, and third drugs may have different ingredients. First-segment infusion parameters A1 include a first infusion volume and a first infusion flow rate corresponding to the first drug, while second-segment infusion parameters B1+C1 include a second infusion volume and a second infusion flow rate corresponding to the second and third drugs.

[0032] In another embodiment not shown, the first segment infusion parameter corresponds to the first drug and the second drug, the second segment infusion parameter corresponds to the third drug, and so on.

[0033] As shown in Figure 7, the infusion device 140 may include an infusion pump 142, multiple infusion bottles 143, and multiple infusion cannulas 144. Taking three infusion bottles 143 and three infusion cannulas 144 as an example, each infusion bottle 143 can contain one drug, and each infusion cannula 144 is connected to a corresponding infusion bottle 143. The infusion pump 142 can selectively connect to one or more of the infusion cannulas 144 to infuse one or more of the drugs. For example, the infusion device 140 first performs a first infusion of a first drug, and then, after a period of time, performs a second infusion of a second and third drug. Step S430: Divide the second image 32 into multiple second regions corresponding to the multiple first regions, i.e., N2 second regions, and calculate multiple second average x-axis coordinate values ​​and multiple second average y-axis coordinate values ​​for the multiple second regions.

[0034] The first to second infusion volumes are, for example, between 100 milliliters (ml) and 250 milliliters (ml). The first to third infusion flow rates are, for example, between 200 milliliters / hour (ml / hour) and 500 milliliters / hour. The infusion volume 111, infusion flow rate 112, drug sequence and interval time 113 in each segment of the infusion parameters can be appropriately adjusted according to the doctor's order information 104 and the effect of the treatment, and the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, as mentioned above, the center coordinates of each square may include an x-axis coordinate value and a y-axis coordinate value. Therefore, in step S420, for each first area, the processor 12 may average the first center coordinates of all first squares 310 in the first area to calculate the first average center coordinates of the first area, that is, the first average x-axis coordinate value and the first average y-axis coordinate value of the first area. For example, the processor 12 may calculate that the first average center coordinates of the first areas A1 to A4 are (790, 110), (100, 110), (100, 720), and (790, 720), respectively.

[0035] In another embodiment (not shown), the infusion device 140 may include multiple infusion pumps 142, multiple infusion bottles 143, and multiple infusion cannulas 144. Each infusion pump 142 is connected to an infusion cannula 144 and an infusion bottle 143. Taking three infusion pumps 142 as an example, as shown in FIG6 , when the first infusion pump 142 is turned on, a first stage of infusion is performed for the first drug; when the second infusion pump 142 is turned on, a second stage of infusion is performed for the second drug; and when the third infusion pump 142 is turned on, a third stage of infusion is performed for the third drug. Alternatively, as shown in FIG7 , when the first infusion pump 142 is turned on, a first stage of infusion is performed for the first drug; when the second and third infusion pumps 142 are turned on, a second stage of infusion is performed for the second and third drugs, and so on. Step S440: Calculate multiple x-axis average offsets and multiple y-axis average offsets for the second regions.

[0036] According to the infusion system and segmented infusion method described above, a server receives patient information and corresponding medical order information from the medical system. Based on the patient information, the server transmits the order information to the infusion device located at the bed. After confirmation by the nursing staff, the infusion pump is activated, and segmented infusion begins. This eliminates the risk of mistyped input when manually entering infusion parameters and reduces labor costs.

[0037] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to the embodiments, these are not intended to limit the present invention. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
