Abstract

Fluid is normally used so that certain drug can be administered to patients for certain period of time. There are many incidents in which patients or guardians need to call upon medical staff after estimating the time of fluid injection termination. In case fluid injection is terminated during certain period such as sleeping time or others, it may cause more fatigue for either patients or guardians. Also, it may lead to ineffective work as medical staff needs to monitor the quantity of fluid several times in order to check the time of fluid injection termination. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose LBS system combined of minimum equipment and active RFID to monitor the level of fluid in order to solve abovementioned problems. Also, it is expected to enhance the quality of medical service with service in which real-time monitoring of fluid quantity and patient location is conducted to provide accurate information to either patients, guardians, or medical staff(nurse) so that medical staff can locate and see patients at the time of fluid injection termination.

수액은 일반적으로 환자에게 특정 주사를 일정 시간동안 주입하기위해 사용되어진다. 환자나 보호자는 수액의 투입종료 시점을 예상하여 의료진을 호출하여야 하는 경우가 많고, 취침시간 등 특정 시간에 수액투여가 종료될 경우 환자나 보호자에게 더 많은 피로를 줄 수 있다. 또한 의료진은 수액의 투입종료시점을 확인하기 위하여 몇 번이고 현장에 찾아가 수액의 양을 모니터링 해야 하는 수고로움으로 업무의 비효율성을 가져올 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 수액의 수위를 감시하는 최소한의 장비와 능동형 RFID를 결합한 형태의 위치기반 서비스 시스템을 제안하고, 환자별 수액의 양과 환자의 위치를 실시간 파악하여 환자나 보호자 또는 의료인(간호사)에게 정확한 정보를 제공하여 수액 투여가 마무리될 시점에 의료진이 환자의 위치로 찾아가는 서비스로 의료서비스의 질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
