Blood Flow

12/3/2013

• Blood flow helps to understand basic physiological

processes and e.g. the dissolution of a medicine into the

body.

• Blood flow and changes in blood volume, are usually

correlated with concentration of nutrients and other

substance in the blood.

• Also, Blood Flow measurement reflects the

concentration of O2.

Ultrasonic Doppler Method

12/3/2013

Blood Pressure• The blood cells in the fluid

reflects the ultrasound signal

with a shift in the ultrasonic

frequency due to its movement.

• In the recent years ultrasound contrast agents have been used in

order to increase the echoes.

Laser Doppler Flowmetry

12/3/2013

Blood Pressure• The principle of measurement is the

same as with ultrasound Doppler.

• The laser parameter may have e.g.

the following properties:

5 mW

He-Ne-laser

632,8 nm wavelength

• The method is used for capillary

(microvascular) blood flow

measurements.

Plethysmography Method(Strain Gage)

12/3/2013

Blood PressurePlethysmography means the methods

for recording volume changes of an

organ or a body part.

• Strain gage is made of silicone rubber tubes, which are filled with

conductive liquid (e.g. mercury) whose impedance changes with

volume.

• Venous occlusion cuff is inflated to 40 – 50 mmHg. In this way

there will be the arterial inflow into the limb but no venous outflow.

Plethysmography Method(Electric-Impedance)

12/3/2013

Blood Pressure• Different tissues in a body have a different resistivity. Blood is one

of the best conductors in a body.

• A constant current is applied

via skin electrodes.

• The change in the impedance

is measured.

• The accuracy is often poor.

Plethysmography Method(Photoelectric)

12/3/2013

Blood Pressure• A beam of IR-light is directed to

the part of the tissue which is to

be measured for blood flow (e.g.

a finger or ear lobe).

• The blood flow modulates the attenuated / reflected light which is

recorded.

• The light that is transmitted / reflected is collected with a photo

detector.

Indicator Dilution Methods(Dye Dilution)

12/3/2013

Blood Pressure

• A bolus of indicator, a colored dye (indocyanine green),

is rapidly injected in to the vessel.

• The concentration is measured in the downstream

• The blood is drawn through a colorimetric cuvette and

the concentration is measured using the principle of

absorption photometry.

Indicator Dilution Methods (Thermal Dilution)

12/3/2013

Blood Pressure

• A bolus of chilled saline solution is injected into the

blood circulation system (right atrium).

• This causes decrease in the artery temperature.

• Catheter-tip probes are used to measure the change in

tempreture.
