Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) is commonly used to prevent urinary problems after prostate or bladder surgery. Nowadays, the irrigation flow rate is regulated manually based on the color (qualitative estimation of the blood concentration) of the drainage fluid. To monitor the blood concentratio...
