48 results about "Vascular compliance" patented technology

The relationship between vascular compliance, pressure, and flow rate is Q=C(dP/dt) Q=flow rate (cm^3/sec) Arterial compliance. The classic definition by Spencer and Denison of compliance (C) is the change in arterial blood volume (ΔV) due to a given change in arterial blood pressure (ΔP). So, C = ΔV/ΔP.

Method for measuring blood pressure, pulse and vas compliance without inserting vas cavity

A method for measuring blood pressure, pulse and vascular compliance without invading a vascular cavity is provided. The blood flow of a vessel is blocked by using an artery clamp, a voltage-variable resistor-containing probe of a pressure transducer is implanted between the muscle layer and the inner membrane of the vessel at the distal end to the heart, followed by biogum sealing; or the voltage-variable resistor probe is closely attached to the outer membrane of the vessel, and then the probe and the vessel are fixed together inside a rigid cylindrical cover. When the artery clamp is released, the pressure inside the vascular cavity rises and is transferred to the voltage-variable resistor probe, resulting in the change in resistance, the resistance change is converted into a current change that is processed by a computer to produce a continuously-recorded blood pressure change, and simultaneously the computer calculates pulses according to the peak distance of the blood pressure and records the change in pulse. The cylindrical cover is provided thereon with a tension transducer that converts a change of vessel displacement into a change of resistance and then a change of vessel displacement again, representative of the change in vascular volume, and calculates continuously-varying vascular compliance. The invention doesn't block the blood flow at the distal end of the vessel to avoid the influence on blood supply to the dominant organs of the vessel to be detected.
