Automatic Intravenous Drip Drop Counter and Controller

An intravenous (IV) drip is a surgical device that delivers fluids and drugs directly into a patient’s bloodstream via a vein. Although IV drips are a cost-effective, safe, and reliable tool, they also have a number of complications arise when used. The majority of intravenous infusion-related accidents are linked to the administration process' complexity. Therefore, the creation of an automated intravenous administration technique is necessary. In the proposed work the risks connected with the use of IV are examined, and a method is proposed to make IV drip monitoring and control possible based on sensing of drops passing through the drip chamber. Also in this study, the sensor-observed experimental drop rate is compared to a manually measured drop rate. Different parameters are calculated based on the automatic counting of fluid drops, with the infusion volume and flow rate being the two most crucial ones. The usage of such a device may lessen complications and give IV drip system users affluence.
