    Abstract: A blood-management-system for collecting blood from a surgical-site of a patient and for measuring the patient's blood loss is disclosed. The blood management system includes a drape configured to be disposed on the patient. The drape further includes an adhesive layer forming a seal between the drape and a region surrounding the surgical site. The blood management-system further includes a drape-collector disposed on the drape, in the proximity of the surgical-site. The drape-collector is configured to collect blood spilled on the surgical-site-layer, to store blood, and to evaluate the quantity of blood collected in the drape-collector. The blood-management-system further includes blood-containers configured to receive fluids from the drape, to store the fluids, and to measure the fluids quantity. The blood-management-system further includes a computing system configured to receive information from the drape-collector and the blood-container and to evaluate the amount of blood lost by the patient.

    Abstract: Noninvasive methods and apparatus for detecting blood volume imbalances in a mammalian subject are disclosed. The method includes obtaining baseline measurements of at least three physiological parameters from a subject wherein the parameters are selected from the group consisting of heart rate, electrical body impedance, skin temperature, perfusion index, peripheral blood flow and skin humidity. Measurements of electrical body impedance, skin temperature, perfusion index, peripheral blood flow and skin humidity are taken at one or more extremities of the subject such as the calf, ankle, forearm, thigh, fingers and toes. The physiological parameters for which baseline measurements were obtained are then monitored to detect changes from the baseline measurements that indicate blood volume imbalances. A preferred embodiment comprises computing a baseline blood volume index from the baseline value measurements of each parameter to be monitored and then carrying out the step of monitoring by obtaining real time (current) value measurements of these parameters which are inputted into an algorithm which computes a real time (current) blood volume index based upon the differences between the baseline and real time (current) value measurements.

    Abstract: A method for estimating extracorporeal blood volume in at least a portion of a fluid canister. A light source may be activated, and an image of the fluid canister is captured with an optical sensor. The image may be a color frame of a video stream. A color-related feature is extracted from at least a portion of the image. A concentration of hemoglobin is estimated based on the extracted color-related feature. A fluid level of fluid within the fluid canister may be estimated from the image. Extracorporeal blood volume based on the estimated concentration of hemoglobin and a fluid volume or the estimated fluid level. The estimated extracorporeal blood volume is displayed on a display. The estimated extracorporeal blood volume and the estimated fluid level may be monitored over time. The optical sensor may be disposed on a handheld mobile device mounted to a side of the fluid canister.
