In various embodiments of the invention, a system and dynamic device are provided to create stability of tube placement in medical and other applications. The described systems and principles also apply in other environments outside of medicine and healthcare. The described medical tubing stabilizer adheres to the tubing itself providing handles or anchors to prevent stitch slippage and to prevent the tubing from falling out in any situation that requires a semi or permanent tubing placement. The device also aides in stabilizing the tubing in the wound site, and thus maximizes placement in its intended area of effect (e.g., in the body cavity, in a medical context). These stabilizing effects substantially minimize slippage of stitching holding the tubing in place to prevent the tubing from falling out or becoming dislodged or displace, thus preventing irritation and damage to the skin around the wound site, infection, seroma, edema and morbidity in a medical context.

Medical tubing stabilizer

A differential or relative measurement between an orthogonal measurement vector and another measurement vector can be used to determine the location where fluid accumulation is occurring or the local change in such fluid accumulation. This can help diagnose or treat infection or hematoma or seroma at a pocket of an implanted cardiac rhythm management device, other implanted medical device, or prosthesis. It can also help diagnose or treat pulmonary edema, pneumonia, pulmonary congestion, pericardial effusion, pericarditis, pleural effusion, hemodilution, or another physiological condition.
