Fiberoptic sensor for noninvasive measurement of variceal pressure.
We present a newmeasuring probe based on a miniature fiberoptic pressure sensor that can measure esophageal variceal pressure. The probe consists of an outer flexible chamber filled with a pressure transmission medium, at the center of which is positioned the fibreoptic sensor with diameter of 0.5mm (FOP-F125, FISO Technologies Inc., Quebec, Canada) (●" Fig.1). The single-column, flexible chamb...
متن کاملBlood Pressure Measurement Device A New Solar-Powered Blood Pressure Measuring Device for Low-Resource Settings
Abstract—The management of high blood pressure (BP) is particularly inadequate in low-income countries, where the unavailability of a reliable, durable, and affordable BP-measurement device is a major obstacle to accurate diagnosis. Recognizing this, a World Health Organization committee was established to correct this deficiency by influencing manufacturers to produce a device according to pre...
متن کاملValidation of an Endoscopic Fibre-Optic Pressure Sensor for Noninvasive Measurement of Variceal Pressure
In this study, the authors have developed endoscopic fibre-optic pressure sensor to detect variceal pressure and presented the validation of in vivo and in vitro studies, because the HVPG requires catheterization of hepatic veins, which is invasive and inconvenient. Compared with HVPG, it is better to measure directly the variceal pressure without puncturing the varices in a noninvasive way.
متن کاملAn underwater blood pressure measuring device.
Measurement of arterial blood pressure is an important vital sign for monitoring the circulation. However, up to now no instrument has been available that enables the measurement of blood pressure underwater. The present paper details a novel, oscillometric, automatic digital blood pressure (BP) measurement device especially designed for this purpose. It consists mainly of analogue and digital ...
متن کاملAn Implantable Intravascular Pressure Sensor for a Ventricular Assist Device
The aim of this study is to investigate the intravascular application of a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) pressure sensor to directly measure the hemodynamic characteristics of a ventricular assist device (VAD). A bioand hemo-compatible packaging strategy is implemented, based on a ceramic thick film process. A commercial sub-millimeter piezoresistive sensor is attached to an alumina su...
