-
Blood Pressure Measurement
- Indirect method rationale includes non-invasive techniques like sphygmomanometry.
- Direct methods involve catheter usage and can yield more accurate results.
-
Types of Measurement
- Two methods for catheter blood pressure measurement: intra-arterial and oscillometric.
-
Blood Flow Meters
- Different types include ultrasonic, electromagnetic, and laser Doppler flowmeters.
-
Key Definitions
- Systolic pressure is the peak pressure during heartbeats; diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure in between beats.
- Poiseuille's Law describes the flow of fluid in a tube, factoring in radius, viscosity, and pressure difference.
-
Photoplethysmography
- A technique that tracks blood volume changes through light absorption.
Measurement Techniques
-
Catheter Tube and Sphygmomanometer
- Combines direct pressure measurement with indirect methods for accuracy.
-
Doppler Flow Measurement
- Utilizes the Doppler shift principle; laser Doppler flowmetry provides real-time blood flow data.
-
Ultrasound Imaging
- Doppler ultrasound visualizes blood flow in vessels using sound waves.
-
Gas Exchange Measurement
- Monitors blood flow based on gas concentration changes in lungs.
-
Electromagnetic Induction
- Measures blood flow through the principle of electromagnetic induction, useful for various health applications.
Module 2: Sensors for Environmental Analysis
-
Air Quality Monitoring
- Measures parameters like temperature, humidity, pollutants, and particulate matter.
- Objectives include compliance with health standards, informing public, and data gathering for improvements.
-
Chemical Sensors
- Transform chemical compositions into signals for industrial applications.
-
Hygrometer Protection
- Measures humidity and must be shielded from harsh environmental conditions for accuracy.
-
Nanoparticle Utilization
- Gold nanoparticles are favored for their tunable optical properties in sensing applications.
-
Impedance Measurement
- Employs an impedance sensor in various monitoring systems.
Other Key Points
-
Biosensors in Healthcare
- These devices recognize biological signals for diagnostics and monitoring.
-
Comparison of Air Quality to AQI
- Air quality refers to the actual condition of air, while AQI is a numerical value indicating air quality levels.
