Abstract:
This paper presents a new, less invasive method for determination of sodium concentration in human venous blood. This new method is based on estimation of the blood sodium by measuring the sodium concentration in urine and potassium in blood. It allows the measurement of sodium concentration with an accuracy satisfying medical requirements. The main features of this method are that it is less invasive method in comparison with conventional methods for sodium concentration measurement in human blood, and it reduces the cost related to sodium analysis and measurement. Experimental verification of this method with results is also included.

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...
