Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure

1.1K
Direct Method
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...

Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

893
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Soft Robotics
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Cardiovascular diseases cause significant mortality in the US.
  • Current treatments like medication and surgery have risks and side effects.
  • Sequential Compression Therapy (SCT) is a low-risk alternative but faces accessibility challenges due to cost and bulkiness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a low-cost, wearable device for administering SCT.
  • To improve patient comfort and mobility during SCT.
  • To enhance accessibility of SCT for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a wearable SCT device using stacked lamination and soft robotics principles.
  • Integration of thermally bonded textile sheets as pneumatic actuators.
  • Development of an inconspicuous, tetherless electronic system for air pressurization.

Main Results:

  • The device is low-cost ($62), lightweight (140 g), and low-profile.
  • It is significantly cheaper and lighter than existing FDA-approved SCT devices.
  • The textile-based design ensures comfort and allows patient mobility.

Conclusions:

  • The developed wearable SCT device offers a practical and affordable solution for cardiovascular disease management.
  • This innovation can improve treatment adherence and recovery outcomes, particularly for underserved populations.
  • The open-source, comfortable design reduces physical and financial barriers to SCT.
