Abstract:
This paper describes the design of a continuous wave blood flow bi-directional Doppler system based on an open, high-resolution architecture that is portable and low cost. The system incorporates the advantages of expensive systems with dedicated hardware. The system is composed of a flow detector probe, a signal conditioning stage, a direction detection module, a signal processing stage and a graphic user interface. The direction detection of the signal is achieved using a fast digital phasing filter. The Doppler signal is processed using a short-time Fourier transform-based algorithm. This is commonly used as a reference. Nevertheless, the system allows us to incorporate alternative high-resolution spectral estimation methods that might offer more precise information to the specialist.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
