SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR MEASURING THE QUANTITY OF LOST BLOOD DURING SURGERY

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.
