The invention relates to a method and a system for automated fluid balance monitoring of a patient. The patient is in bed, at least intermittently, during a predetermined reference period. Each item used is marked with an identifier. A bed scale weighs the bed. A reading unit reads the identifiers on the items. A camera unit generates images, these images showing at least the bed and items near the bed. A signal processing unit determines a weight difference, that is, the difference between the weight of the bed at a first time point and its weight at a second time point. The signal processing unit calculates a fluid balance for the patient, which is the total amount of fluid supplied to the patient during the reference period minus the amount of fluid leaving the patient during the reference period.For this purpose, the signal processing unit uses the weight difference of which objects are being moved to or from the bed, as well as the respective amount of liquid that each moved object can hold.

The disclosed subject matter relates to extracorporeal blood processing or other processing of fluids. A blood treatment system treats blood with multiple fluids and performs fluid balancing on a patient's blood compartment. Multiple streams influence the patient temperature but only a subset of the fluids are dynamically temperature regulated. The system regulates a temperature of the flow, for example, of dialysate in order to regulate the return temperature of blood, in such a way that the temperature effect of the multiple streams is compensated.

A process and a system for fluid balancing a patient that is in a bed during a predefined reference time period. Each object used is provided with a marking. A bed scale weighs the bed. A reading unit reads the markings on the objects. A camera unit generates images that show at least the bed and objects in the vicinity of the bed. A signal processing unit determines a weight difference between the bed weight of the bed at a first time point and at a second time point. The signal processing unit calculates a fluid balance—the total amount of fluid supplied less the amount of fluid that leaves the patient, during the reference time period. The signal processing unit uses the difference in weight of objects, moved to or from the bed, and the respective amount of fluid that each moved object can hold.

Various examples are provided related to fluid balance management and monitoring. The system can monitor a fluid balance based at least in part on an analysis of fluid intake data, fluid output data, physiological data points, target balance data, or any combination thereof. The system can also continuously or periodically adjust at least one of: a restoration fluid flow rate or a fluid removal flow rate based at least in part on the monitored fluid balance. The system generates a fluid balance graph that indicates fluid balance over time using the fluid intake data, the fluid output data, and at least one of: the restoration fluid flow rate, the fluid removal flow rate, or any combination thereof. The system can further include alerts, projected fluid balance and fluid balance path, and the ability to incorporate manual and clinical data to identify a fluid balance path to adhere to.
