Abstract

The following article describes the concept of optical measurement of blood volume in ventricular assist devices (VAD's) of the pulsatile type. The paper presents the current state of art in blood volume measurements of such devices and introduces a newly developed solution in the optic domain. The objective of the research is to overcome the disadvantages of the previously developed acoustic method-the requirement of additional sensor chamber. The idea of a compact measurement system has been introduced, followed by laboratory measurements. Static tests of the system have been presented, followed by dynamic measurements on a physical model of the human ventricular system. The results involving the measurements of blood chamber volume acquired by means of an optical system have been compared with the results acquired by means of the Transonic T410 ultrasound flow rate sensor (11PLX transducer, uncertainty ±5 %). Preliminary dynamic measurements conducted on the physical model of the human cardiovascular system show that the proposed optical measurement system may be used to measure the transient blood chamber volumes of pulsatile VAD's with the uncertainties (standard mean deviation) lower than 10 %. The results show that the noninvasive measurements of the temporary blood chamber volume in the POLVAD prosthesis with the use of the developed optical system allows us to carry out accurate static and dynamic measurements.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 December 2015.
All research outputs
#20,298,249
of 22,835,198 outputs
Outputs from BioMedical Engineering OnLine
#692
of 823 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#326,305
of 388,829 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BioMedical Engineering OnLine
#33
of 38 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,835,198 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 823 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 388,829 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 38 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
