Abstract:
There is provided an IV infusion set comprising a patient access configured to connect to a vascular system of a patient, a source of medical fluid, an infusion line having one first end configured to connect to the source of medical fluid and one opposite second end configured to deliver the medical fluid towards the patient access, an infusion apparatus arranged on the infusion line, a sensor configured to emit a pressure signal indicative of a pressure of a medical fluid in the infusion line, and a control unit configured to receive the pressure signal and to determine a patient signal indicative of a vital signal of the patient based on the pressure signal. The IV infusion set further comprises a compliance element configured to attenuate pressure variations of medical fluid the infusion line, and a resistance element configured to reflect pressure waves moving along the infusion line. The sensor is arranged on the infusion line at a position downstream from the resistance element with respect to a direction of fluid flow along the infusion line from the medical fluid source towards the patient access. The infusion line may include a main infusion line and/or one or more auxiliary infusion lines connected to a main infusion line.
