Anesthetics and red blood cell rheology
نویسنده
چکیده
There are many conditions where it is useful for anesthetists to have a knowledge of blood rheology.Blood rheology plays an important role in numerous clinical situations.Hemorheologic changes may significantly affect the induction and recovery times with anesthetic agents.But also, hemorheologic factors are directly or indirectly affected by many anesthetic agents or their metabolites.In this review, the blood rheology with special emphasis on its application in anesthesiology, the importance hemorheological parameters in anesthesiology and also the effect of some anesthetic substances on red blood cell rheology were presented.

Blood rheology in lupus erythematosus.
Blood rheology is one of the determinants of perfusion and might therefore have an impact on the thromboembolic complications of lupus erythematosus. This study aimed at defining the flow properties of blood in patients with various types of lupus erythematosus. Results for 51 patients were compared with those for 20 controls matched for sex. The patients were divided into subgroups--chronic di...
متن کاملRheology of red blood cell aggregation by computer simulation
The aggregation of red blood cells (RBC) induced by the interactions between RBCs is a dominant factor of the in vitro rheological properties of blood, and existing models of blood do not contain full cellular information. In this work, we introduce a new three-dimensional model that couples Navier–Stokes equations with cell interactions to investigate RBC aggregation and its effect on blood rh...
متن کاملComparative rheology of human and trout red blood cells.
We have studied the comparative rheology of individual red blood cells from humans and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at their natural body temperatures. Trout red blood cells were large ellipsoids (about 16 microns x 11.5 microns x 2.5 microns) with a mean volume of 250 fl, a surface area of approximately 350 microns 2 and an elongated nucleus of about 9 microns x 5 microns. Although much...
متن کاملBlood cell rheology in acute cerebral infarction.
Recently it has been hypothesized that leukocyte rheology could be a relevant variable of the microcirculation during cerebral ischemia. However, relatively few studies have been carried out on the rheologic behavior of leukocytes in vascular diseases. This study aimed at quantifying the filterability through Nuclepore filters (mean pore diameter 5 microns) of both leukocyte subpopulations and ...
متن کاملDynamical Simulation of Red Blood Cell Rheology in Microvessels
A spring model is applied to simulate the skeleton structure of the red blood cell (RBC) membrane and to study the red blood cell (RBC) rheology in microvessels. The biconcave RBC shape in static plasma and tank-treading behavior of single cell in shear flows have been successfully captured in this model. The behavior of the RBC in a Poiseuille flow and the lateral migration of the cells in a s...
