Development of an apparatus to measure plasma colloid osmotic pressure mounted on the extracorporeal hemodialysis circuit.

چکیده
We newly developed an apparatus to measure colloid osmotic pressure (COP) of blood plasma continuously by hemodialysis (HD) or extracorporeal ultrafiltration method (ECUM) without any invasive procedure or blood sampling. The COP value measured by this apparatus highly correlated with the COP value calculated from the concentration of total protein of blood plasma (TP) sampled simultaneously (y = 21.182 + 0.96256x, r2 = 0.911). Measurement of the COP with this apparatus seems to be reliable.

Marked decrease in intraocular pressure in a neovascular glaucoma patient during hemodialysis.
While the relationship between intraocular pressure and plasma osmolarity has been investigated during hemodialysis, no research has been published concerning the relationship between intraocular pressure and plasma colloid osmotic pressure during hemodialysis. We describe a patient with neovascular glaucoma who demonstrated a marked decrease in intraocular pressure during hemodialysis. The pat...
متن کاملImpact of hetastarch on the intestinal microvascular barrier during ECLS.
The effects of hetastarch on microvascular fluid flux were determined in anesthetized dogs undergoing extracorporeal life support (ECLS) with a roller pump and membrane oxygenator. ECLS with a lactated Ringer priming solution resulted in a decrease in microvascular protein reflection coefficient and an increase in transvascular protein clearance. Use of a 6% hetastarch priming solution attenuat...
متن کاملAn "oncometer" of clinical measurement of colloid osmotic pressure of plasma.
Measurement of colloid osmotic pressure complements measurements of pulmonary artery wedge pressure for assessing the risks of pulmonary edema and constitutes an increasingly important reference for purposes of guiding selection of colloid or crystalloid fluids in patients with acute cardiac disease. We describe a simple device for its routine clinical measurement. A membrane, selectively imper...
متن کاملPulmonary edema during volume infusion.
The relationship between left ventricular filling pressure and plasma colloid osmotic pressure to pulmonary edema was examined in a group of 37 patients, the majority of whom were hypovolemic. Sixteen patients developed pulmonary edema during fluid infusion. In the 21 patients who did not develop pulmonary edema, the left ventricular filling pressure was slightly elevated but the colloid osmoti...
متن کاملUltrafiltration of the waste plasma effluent from cardiopulmonary bypass circuit contents processed with a cell-washing device.
Blood conservation methods are commonly practiced throughout most hospitals that conduct cardiothoracic surgery. In an effort to reduce patients' exposure to homologous blood products and due to cost effectiveness of blood conservation techniques, this present study combines autotransfusion of the remaining blood in the extracorporeal circuit and ultrafiltration of the plasma effluent, and desc...
