Probability of path block by using microbubbles aggregation in artificial capillary
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have previously reported our attempts to produce microbubble aggregations, by making use of Bjerknes force, which acts to propel microbubbles and to adjust the size of aggregations. However, because we have used simple shape of artificial blood vessels, the behavior of aggregations in a capillary, e.g., probability to obstruct in bloodstream, possibility of embolization, has not been predicted. Thus we designed and fabricated a capillary-mimicking artificial blood vessel to apply to active path block with microbubble aggregation. The aggregation suddenly flaked off the vessel wall and flew to downstream, which was caught at a bifurcation with a high probability. We verified the same experiment under similar parameters to calculate the probability of path block.

Microbubbles: pathophysiology and clinical implications.
Gas embolism is a known complication of various invasive procedures, and its management is well established. The consequence of gas microemboli, microbubbles, is underrecognized and usually overlooked in daily practice. We present the current data regarding the pathophysiology of microemboli and their clinical consequences. Microbubbles originate mainly in extracorporeal lines and devices, such...
متن کاملPrediction of Time of Capillary Rise in Porous Media Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN)
An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to analyse the capillary rise in porous media. Wetting experiments were performed with fifteen liquids and fifteen different powders. The liquids covered a wide range of surface tension ( 15.45-71.99 mJ/m2 ) and viscosity (0.25-21 mPa.s). The powders also provided an acceptable range of particle size (0.012-45 μm) and surface free...
