Özet

Fluid Intravenous (IV) systems are gravity-based or electromechanically operated systems used to inject therapeutic fluid into the patient from a peripheral or central vein. In this study, the factors affecting flow rate and volume, which are the most important parameters of gravity-based IV systems, were examined. In order to obtain accurate flow and volume data, the formation process of microdrops that play a role in monitoring IV systems should be followed in detail and the factors affecting them should be examined. All these examinations were carried out under the necessary conditions to ensure that IV treatments, which have effects on patient health, are in the healthiest way possible. As a result, optical systems for monitoring IV systems have been determined to be cost effective.
