Abstract
Devices and methods for determining the fluid characteristics of a blood sample may include the assessment of a pressure waveform of a fluid sample having a pre-determined volume passed through or out of a flow restrictor. The interface between the blood and other fluids in the tubing line of the blood monitoring system may also be assessed. These assessments may be used alone or in combination to generate estimates of other fluid characteristics, such as the hematocrit of a blood sample. This information may be used for the real-time determination of change of hematocrit levels in a patient's blood while the patient is being transfused with intravenous fluids or other vascular products, or to provide adjustment factors for other blood assays affected by the hematocrit or other blood parameters.
