    摘要: A system and method for measuring recirculation of blood in a catheter designed for implantation in a human is described. In one variation, the system comprises an artificial circulatory system and an ultrasonic detection device for measuring and comparing the density of a circulated blood simulant with a later introduced bolus saline. The system may be configured to simulate a human heart by providing the flow, pressure and dimensions of a typical human heart. In addition to simulating the circulatory system of a normal human heart, the system may also be configured to simulate particular negative conditions of a patient, such as stenotic condition, which would affect the recirculation measurement.

    摘要: The measurement of blood flow in a dialysis shunt is obtained by injection of an indicator material into a venous line leading from dialysis equipment to the shunt. The blood flow in an arterial line leading from the shunt at a location downstream of the venous line to the dialysis equipment is monitored by an arterial line sensor for the presence of the indicator material. A detector connected to the sensor provides a dilution curve in response to the presence of the indicator material and the blood flow in the shunt is calculated from the area under the dilution curve. The locations of the arterial and venous lines in the shunt can be reversed to obtain a measurement of blood recirculation from the venous line into the arterial line.

    摘要: A method and a device for determining the blood flow QF in a vascular access (F) during an extracorporeal blood treatment is described, where the blood enters the blood treatment unit (3) of the blood treatment machine through an arterial branch (19) of an extracorporeal circulation loop (2) which is in fluid connection with the vascular access at an arterial connection. The blood is returned through a venous branch (21) of the extracorporeal circulation, which is in fluid connection with the vascular access at a venous connection (13). The blood flow in the vascular access is determined by measuring the pressure part, pven, in the arterial and/or venous branch of the extracorporeal circulation when the vascular access is open and interrupted, while the extracorporeal blood flow QB is varied. Then the fistula flow QF is determined from the measured values for the arterial and/or venous pressure while the vascular access is open and interrupted.

    摘要: A tubular set portion for circulating blood between a patient and an extracorporeal blood treatment device. The set portion has: an arterial tube for conveying blood from a patient toward the blood treatment device; a venous tube for conveying blood from the blood treatment device back towards the patient; and a pair of spaced, transverse tubes that each connect between the arterial tube and the venous tube, each of the tubes being capable of clamp sealing. The arterial and venous tubes are clamp sealable between the spaced, transverse tubes. Flow reversal on the patient's side of this device is possible by appropriate clamping of two opposed tube sections of the rectangular array which may be formed by the joined tube sections, while flow remains unchanged on the side of the tubular set portion that is connected to the extracorporeal blood treatment device.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for determining the flow rate of blood in a vessel, such as a hemodialysis access. The system includes a conduit, such as an external dialysis circuit or an intravascular catheter, in communication with the blood in the vessel and having a diversion point for diverting the blood from the vessel into the conduit. As such, the vessel has a flow rate (QA) upstream from the diversion point and a flow rate (QD) downstream from the diversion point. A pump is connected to the conduit for diverting the blood into the conduit using a pump flow rate. An ultrasonic sensor is provided in communication with the blood in the vessel downstream from the diversion point. The ultrasonic sensor senses the downstream flow rate (QD) and generates at least two downstream Doppler frequency signals including a first downstream Doppler frequency signal when the pump has a first pump flow rate and a second downstream Doppler frequency signal when the pump has a second pump flow rate. A processor connected to the ultrasonic sensor and the pump then determines the upstream flow rate (QA) when the pump has a selected pump flow rate from the first and second downstream Doppler frequency signals and the selected pump flow rate.

    摘要: A device for determining shunt flow in a hemodialysis shunt connected between two points in a cardiovascular-hemodialysis system includes a flow sensor connected to either the hemodialysis inflow (arterial) line or the outflow (venous) line. An indicator is preferably introduced into the system that is sensed by first and second sensors that are spaced apart and disposed effective for sensing the indicator at two locations in the cardiovascular-hemodialysis system. Natural indicators produced by the body, such as density variations in the blood caused by rhythmic breathing, are optionally used instead of an introduced indicator. A detector connected to the flow sensor and the first and second sensors determines, at a first flow rate, a first time a first indicator takes to move between the two locations, and at a second flow rate, a second time a second indicator takes to move between the two locations. The shunt flow is then calculated from the first and second times and the first and second flow rates.
