Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure

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...

Otolaryngology
Surgical Robotics

Background:

Cochlear implantation is a leading treatment for profound sensorineural hearing loss.
Manual electrode insertion risks damage to delicate cochlear structures.
Automated insertion devices aim to minimize surgical trauma.

Purpose of the Study:

Develop a novel, compact, and reliable automated electrode insertion device for cochlear implantation.
Evaluate intracochlear pressure dynamics during simulated electrode insertion using the automated device.

Main Methods:

A roller mechanism actuates the electrode array.
A 3D-printed model cochlea and electrode were used for testing.
Intracochlear pressure was monitored using a pressure sensor at various insertion speeds.

Main Results:

Electrode insertion increased intracochlear pressure with depth, independent of insertion speed.
The rate of pressure change demonstrated an exponential increase with insertion speed.
A peak pressure of 133 Pa was recorded at 0.15 mm/s insertion speed.

Conclusions:

The automated device offers a potentially less traumatic method for cochlear implantation.
Further evaluation in anatomical models is recommended for clinical application.
Understanding pressure dynamics is crucial for optimizing automated insertion techniques.
