Abstract

The nurses manually carry out the intravenous therapy for the patients. Using an Arduino, the fine flow controlling device was invented to provide an ongoing patient care. The medication is injected through a peristaltic pump, and the amount of the solution is controlled with a RGB color sensor. The power of the device is supplied through the batteries. An amount of the injection is measured with LIG strain sensor fabricated by 355nm UV pulsed laser. This system will provide a better medical service.

본 논문은 보통 병원에서 간호사가 수작업으로 진행하는 약물주입 과정을 대신할 수 있는 의료용 미세 유량 제어 장치를 소개한다. 이는 아두이노로 구현되었으며 환자의 지속적인 관리에 도움이 되고자 한다. 기본적으로 연동펌프를 통해 약물이 주입되며 RGB color sensor를 통해 배출액의 색상을 값으로 받아들이고 이 값을 바탕으로 수액백에 달린 연동펌프의 모터 속도를 조절하는 알고리즘을 아두이노 코딩을 통해 구현한다. 전체적인 시스템은 배터리를 통해 작동되며 연구실에서 355nm UV pulsed laser를 통해 제작한 LIG strain sensor의 추가를 통해 수액백으로부터 주입되는 약물의 양을 측정한다. 이렇게 제작된 미세 유량 제어 장치는 모든 과정을 수작업으로 진행해오던 병원에 곧장 사용 가능하며 간호사의 편의를 제공하고자 한다. 이 장치를 통해 한층 향상된 의료서비스를 제공할 수 있다.
