SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MONITORING AND CONTROL OF ULTRAFILTRATION VOLUME DURING PERITONEAL DIALYSIS USING SEGMENTAL BIOIMPEDANCE

摘要

The present invention is an abdominal cavity monitor (PCM) for determining the ultrafiltration volume of fluid in the patient's abdominal cavity by measuring the volume of fluid in the patient's abdominal cavity by segmented bioimpedance spectroscopy (SBIS), and filling the patient's abdominal cavity, and ultrafiltration. Performing peritoneal dialysis (PD) in a patient, including a switch controlled by the PCM, for draining the patient's abdominal cavity when the volume does not change over time, decreases significantly, or decreases at a significant rate. It relates to a peritoneal dialysis (PD) system for injecting a predetermined volume of PD solution into the abdominal cavity of a patient.
