Popis: Acquiring patient physiological waveforms is useful for studying hemodynamic management and developing medical monitoring systems. A low cost, Arduino controlled data acquisition system acquires arterial pressure waveforms (Edwards Lifesciences TruWave compatible) and measures fluid infusion rate using hanging scales. This system can be used at the same time as a clinical monitor, enabling recording of patient arterial pressure and fluid delivery for clinical research. The system is powered via a USB connection, which additionally provides serial output, aiding compatibility and customisation. A simple software user interface, developed in Python, shows outputs. Each data acquisition system, including all necessary connection cables costs ̃US$90 and is multiple-use.
