Abstract:
Ultrasonic pulsed Doppler duplex system was used to observe the portal hemodynamic changes before and after shunting or nonshunting operations. The results of preoperative measurements revealed significant increases of blood flow volumes of portal and splenic veins in portal hypertension subjects, and a positive correlation was obtained in the subjects with portal hypertension. Postoperative results showed significant reduction of portal blood flow volume more after shunting than the nonshunting operations. The etiology of portal hypertension and the causes of portal hemodynamic changes due to operations were discussed.

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...

Hepatic Portal System
At its core, the hepatic portal vein is the result of a confluence of the superior and inferior mesenteric veins along with the splenic vein. Each of these veins has a unique role. The superior mesenteric vein is responsible...
