Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Acute renal failure still is, with the exception of cardiac deaths, the most important pathological process associated with perioperative mortality in patients operated for abdominal aortic aneurysms. The intraoperative change in renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular function have been investigated in human and animal models, particularly over the past 15 years. Despite large variation in study populations, measurement techniques and study designs in general, a significant body of evidence has developed which suggests infrarenal aortic clamp-induced renal ischemia to be the cause of postoperative acute renal failure when this complication does occur. It is rather surprizing then that, despite some recent studies which have reported on various pharmacological interventions to prevent intraoperative renal ischemia (with variable success), very little has apparently been done to unravel the pathogenesis and exact pathophysiology of this potentially lethal complication. Although a number of investigators suggest the possibility of hormonal involvement (particularly reninangiotensin, antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and catecholamines) in the process, the exact role of these mediators have not been explored (or reported) in a structured fashion. In an initial human study, renal hemodynamics and function were measured from the preoperative period, during the intraoperative phase and at least until 4 hours after aortic unclamping. To investigate the possibility of a temporal relationship between renal changes and fluctuations in hormonal concentrations, plasma concentrations of relevant hormones were determined at every sampling period where renal parameters were measured. The decrease in RBF and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) which we demonstrated to coincide with infrarenal aortic cross clamping, is consistent with results previously published. We demonstrated persistence of the impairment of these parameters as long as 4 hours into the postoperative phase; which has previously only been reported for the period until immediately after aortic unclamping with the abdomen still open. The persistence of a depressed GFR until the time of discharge of patients is cause for concern, particularly in patients with compromised renal function prior to surgery. Of the measured hormones with a potential influence on RBF and nephron function, renin was the only mediator where changes in plasma concentrations coincided with the depression of RBF and GFR after aortic cross clamping. The design of our study did not allow us to conclude whether the concomitant increase in angiotensin II was primarily responsible for the change in renal hemodynamics, or whether the raised renin (and angiotensin) levels were stimulated by the decrease in RBF induced by another mechanism. In another patient group, we demonstrated that the combination of mannitol and dopamine provided no protection against the deleterious effects of aortic cross clamping. In fact, the high urine volumes produced under the influence of these agents (which did not correlate with RBF at the corresponding periods), is likely to prompt a false sense of security. Given the lack of any objective benefit afforded by these agents, their use in these clinical circumstances should be discouraged. The animal studies were aimed at elucidation of the exact role of angiotensin in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of the renal changes associated with infrarenal aortic clamping, as well as the interaction of angiotensin with other modulators for which an interactive relationship had been described previously under other experimental and/or clinical circumstances. The first study showed that, although renin (and thus angiotensin) concentrations were high after aortic unclamping, the hormone had no pathogenic or pathophysiological role of significance in the observed renal changes during this period (since blocking angiotensin II activation by the prevention of renin release, or by inhibiting the conversion enzyme, did not prevent a substantial decrease in RBF or GFR during that period). Preventing angiotensin II activation did, however, prevent renal changes during aortic clamping. This beneficial effect did not establish a primary role for angiotensin during that period, since the favourable influence could also (at least partially) be explained by prevention of the permissive influence of angiotensin on other vasoconstrictors and/or other vasodilatory influences of ACE inhibition and [1- blockade which are unrelated to angiotensin. This study did indicate that (at least partially) different mechanisms are responsible for the renal changes seen during aortic clamping, and after aortic unclamping. The second study explored the role of calcium in the renal pathophysiological changes during aortic clamping and after unclamping. The protective influence effected by the administration of a Ca2 + -blocker suggest the dependence of the renal vasoconstrictive and glomerular pathophysiological process( es) on the cellular influx of Ca2 + through voltage-gated channels. It unfortunately provides no definitive insight into the primary instigators of these processes. However, it does offer a clinically useful method of preventing these changes and protecting the kidney against ischemic injury during abdominal aortic surgery. The third component of the animal studies demonstrates the importance of the protective effect of renal prostaglandins during the specific experimental (and probably also the clinical) circumstances. Again, it does not provide definitive information on the mediators responsible for the renal changes, since the deleterious effects of numerous endogenous substances have previously been shown to be counterbalanced by intrarenal synthesis of prostaglandins under various experimental and clinical circumstances. The extent of the pathophysiological and ultrastructural changes which occurred under the influence of a NSAID does, however, suggest that these drugs should not be used under these clinical circumstances. The last component of the study provides evidence that angiotensin only plays a secondary/supplementary role in the renal pathophysiological process even during aortic clamping. This may explain the contradictory evidence regarding the potential beneficial effect of ACE inhibition (on renal hemodynamics and glomerular function) during abdominal aortic surgery (Licker et al. 1996, Colson et al. 1992a). Based on our studies, ACE inhibition can not be supported for this purpose.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Akute nierversaking is met die uitsondering van kardiale sterftes, steeds die belangrikste patologiese proses wat geassosieer is met perioperatiewe mortaliteit in pasiënte wat opereer word vir abdominale aorta aneurismes. Die intraoperatiewe veranderinge in renale bloedvloei (NBV) en glomerulêre funksie is die afgelope 15 jaar ondersoek en gerapporteer in pasiënte- sowel as diere-modelle. Ten spyte van groot variasies in studie-populasies, meettegnieke en ontwerp van studies in die algemeen, dui 'n wesenlike hoeveelheid getuienis daarop dat infrarenale klemming van die aorta renale isgemie induseer, wat die oorsaak is van postoperatiewe akute nierversaking wanneer hierdie komplikasie voorkom. Dit is verbasend dat, ten spyte van sommige onlangse studies wat rapporteer oor 'n verskeidenheid farmakologiese ingrepe om intraoperatiewe renale isgemie te voorkom (met wisselende sukses), baie min oënskynlik gedoen is om die patogenese en die presiese patofisiologie van hierdie potensieel dodelike komplikasie te ontrafel. Hoewel verskeie outeurs die moontlikheid van hormonale betrokkenheid (veral renienangiotensien, antidiuretiese hormoon en katekolamiene) in hierdie proses suggereer, is die presiese rol van hierdie mediators nog nie op 'n gestruktureerde wyse ondersoek (of rapporteer) nie. In ons aanvanklike pasiënte-studie is renale hemodinamika en -funksie gemeet vanaf die preoperatiewe periode, gedurende die intra-operatiewe fase en tot minstens vier uur na ontklemming van die aorta. Serumkonsentrasies van relevante hormone is bepaal tydens elke metingsperiode waar renale parameters gemeet is, ten einde die moontlikheid van 'n temporale verwantskap tussen renale veranderinge en variasies in hormoonkonsentrasies te ondersoek. Die vermindering in NBV en glomerulêre filtrasiespoed (GFS) wat ons aangetoon het om saam te val met infrarenale aortaklemming, stem ooreen met resultate wat tevore deur ander navorsers publiseer is. Ons het aangetoon dat die inkorting van hierdie parameters voortduur tot minstens vier uur na aorta-ontklemming. Hierdie veranderinge is tevore slegs rapporteer vir periodes tot kort na aorta-ontklemming voor sluiting van die buikwond. Die feit dat die GFS steeds verlaag is met ontslag van hierdie pasiënte, skep rede tot kommer, veral in pasiënte wat alreeds ingekorte nierfunksie het voor die chirurgiese prosedure. Van die gemete hormone wat moontlik 'n invloed sou kon uitoefen op NBV eh nefronfunksie, was renien die enigste waarvan verandering in plasmakonsentrasies saamgeval het met die onderdrukking van NBV en GFS na aortaklemming. Die ontwerp van ons studie het ons nie toegelaat om 'n besliste uitspraak te maak of die geassosieerde verhoging in angiotensien II primêr verantwoordelik was vir die verandering in renale hemodinamika, of dat die verhoogde renien (en angiotensien) bloedvlakke moontlik sekondêr stimuleer is deur die verandering in NBV wat deur 'n ander meganisme induseer is. In 'n ander pasiëntegroep het ons aangetoon dat die kombinasie van mannitol en dopamien geen beskerming verleen het teen die nadelige effekte van aorta-klemming nie. Die groot volumes uriene wat uitgeskei is onder die invloed van hierdie middels (wat nie korreleer het met NBV tydens ooreenstemmende periodes nie), het inderwaarheid 'n ontoepaslike gerustheid uitgelok. Weens die ooglopende gebrek aan objektiewe voordeel wat verleen word deur hierdie middels, behoort hulle gebruik tydens hierdie kliniese omstandighede ontmoedig te word. Die doel van die diere studies was die identifisering van die presiese rol van angiotensien in die patogenese en patofisiologie van die renale veranderinge geassosieer met infrarenale aortaklemming, sowel as die interaksie van angiotensien met ander modulators waarvoor 'n interaktiewe verwantskap voorheen beskryf is onder eksperimentele en/of kliniese omstandighede. Die eerste studie het getoon dat alhoewel renien (en dus angiotensien) konsentrasies hoog was na aorta-ontklemming, die hormone geen betekenisvolle patogenetiese of patofisiologiese rol in die waargenome renale veranderinge gedurende hierdie periode het nie (aangesien blokkade van angiotensien aktivering deur voorkoming van renien vrystelling, of deur inhibisie van angiotensien omsettingsensiem (AOE), nie 'n daling in NBV of GFS kon voorkom nie). Voorkoming van angiotensien II aktivering het egter wel renale verandering voorkom gedurende aortaklemming. Dié voordelige effek het nie 'n primêre rol vir angiotensien gedurende die periode bevestig nie, aangesien die gunstige invloed ook (ten minste gedeeltelik) verduidelik kon word deur die voorkoming van die fassiliterende invloed van angiotensien op ander vasokonstriktore en/of ander vasodilator-invloede van die onderdrukking van AOE en ïs-blokkers (wat geen verband het met angiotensien of die blokkade daarvan nie). Die studie het aangetoon dat (ten minste gedeeltelik) verskillende meganismes verantwoordelik is vir renale veranderinge wat gesien is gedurende aortaklemming en na -ontklemming. Die tweede studie het die rol van kalsium in die renale patofisiologiese veranderinge gedurende aortaklemming en na ontklemming ondersoek. Die beskermende invloed wat deur die toediening van Ca2 + -blokkers bewerkstellig is, het bevestig dat die renale vasokonstriktoriese en glomerulêre patofisiologiese prosesse afhanklik is van sellulêre influks van kalsium deur spannings-afhanklike kannale. Dit het ongelukkig geen definitiewe insig verleen ten opsigte van die primêre inisieerders van die proses nie. Dit verskaf nogtans 'n bruikbare kliniese metode om daardie veranderinge te voorkom en die niere teen isgemiese besering gedurende abdominale aorta-chirurgie te beskerm. Die derde komponent van die diere-studies demonstreer die belangrikheid van die beskermende effek van renale prostaglandiene tydens die spesifieke eksperimentele (en waarskynlik ook die kliniese) omstandighede. Weereens gee dit nie definitiewe inligting oor die bemiddelaars wat verantwoordelik is vir die renale veranderinge nie, aangesien die skadelike effekte van verskeie endogene stowwe voorheen aangetoon is om beperk of voorkom te word deur die intrarenale vrystelling van prostaglandiene. Die omvang van die patofisiologiese en ultrastrukturele veranderinge wat ontstaan het onder die invloed van nie-steroïed anti-inflammatoriese middels (wat gebruik is om prostaglandien sintese te inhibeer), dui aan dat hierdie middels vermy moet word onder soortelyke kliniese omstandighede. Die laaste komponent van die studie verskaf 'n sterk aanduiding dat angiotensien slegs 'n sekondêre/aanvullende rol speel in die renale patofisiologiese proses, selfs gedurende aortaklemming. Dit mag die weersprekende getuienis oor die potensiële voordeel van AOE onderdrukking (op renale hemodinamika en glomerulêre funksie) gedurende abdominale aortachirurgie (Licker et al. 1996, Colson et al. 1992a) verklaar. Gebaseer op ons studies, kan AOE onderdrukking nie ondersteun word vir hierdie doel nie.

Abstract: Anemia is considered one of the factors to assess the kidney disease progress and the decrease in patient's quality of life. As kidney disease progresses, there is a gradual increase in urinary toxin production that shortens the circulating erythrocyte half-life by interfering with erythrocyte membrane stability. To do this, use a reticulocyte count to classify anemia as regenerative or non-regenerative. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the resistance of the red blood cells, using the Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility test in dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to evaluate reticulocytes. Forty-three dogs were charged, followed by the routine of the Nephrology and Urology Service of the Governor Laudo Natel Veterinary Hospital of the Faculty of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences - UNESP - Campus Jaboticabal. The experimental units were divided into three groups, namely, G0 (n = 13), consisting of healthy dogs and G1, CKD stages 1 and 2 (n = 14) and G2, CKD stages 3 and 4 (n = 16), classification proposed by the International Renal Interest Society. In order to define the inclusion criteria of dogs made, in addition to physical examination, an assessment of blood pressure, blood count, reticulocyte count, biochemical tests, urinalysis, and urinary protein/creatinine ratio. To perform the erythrocyte osmotic fragility test, red blood cells were diluted in decreasing sodium chloride filters (0.9 to 0.0%) and analyzed by flow cytometry. As creatinine serum concen...

Full textIt is well documented the importance of autonomic dysfunction in microvascular complications of diabetes. Additionally, new and consistent evidence indicates that the reflex control of movement is controlled by the baroreceptors could be an early prognostic marker in diabetes mellitus, clinical and experimental. In this project, we tested the hypothesis that baroreflex dysfunction interferes with the development of nephropathy and diabetic cardiomyopathy by altering the autonomic modulation controlled by the arterial baroreceptors on heart and blood vessels. We used male Wistar rats (230 to 260g) were divided into four groups: control group (n = 9), diabetic (GD, n = 11), denervated (GCD, n = 9) and diabetic denervated (GDD, n = 8). After 7 days of sinoaortic denervation was performed we induced diabetes (DM) by streptozotocin (STZ). We evaluated metabolic, glucose tolerance test and echocardiographic evaluations during the third week of the protocol. After 28 days of protocol records were taken direct blood pressure (BP) and baroreflex sensitivity assessments of cardiovascular autonomic (heart rate variability and systolic BP), regional blood flow analysis and evaluations kidney ex vivo. Diabetic groups (GD and GDD) had higher blood glucose and reduced body weight, blood pressure and heart rate when compared with non-diabetic groups (GC and GCD). Diabetic groups showed a larger response area under the glycemic response curve when compared to control groups, thus indicating an increased glucose intolerance. The morphometric parameters, interventricular septum (IVSD) was lower in both diabetic groups compared to CG. The back wall of the left ventricle (PPDIA) was reduced only in diabetic mice. Regarding the size of the cavity of the left ventricle during diastole (Vedia), there was a tendency to increase in all groups compared to control. The left ventricular mass (LVM) was lower in the diabetic group compared to control, and higher in the groups submitted to DSA when compared to CG. Systolic function was evaluated by ejection fraction (EF), in which there was no difference between groups. Diastolic function was evaluated by isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) was greater in the diabetic group compared to control. The denervated group showed similar to the CG. However, the denervated diabetic group showed lower values of IVRT as compared to diabetic animals only. Autonomic dysfunction, as assessed by baroreflex sensitivity by HR variability (HRV) and systolic (VPAS) were observed in groups GD, GCD and GDD than in group C. The blood flows analyzed in this protocol (coronary, pulmonary, kidney and muscle) were reduced in all experimental groups compared to CG. The group submitted to SAD showed a marked reduction in all blood flows studied. The total peripheral vascular resistance is increased in all groups with a greater increase in the diabetic group. Cardiac output was reduced in all groups, especially in denervated diabetic group compared with the GC. With respect to cardiac index, we also observed a reduction in all groups, with a greater reduction in the diabetic group and that denervation was not able to mitigate this reduction in denervated diabetic group. The evaluation showed an increase in renal perfusion pressure of the GD, accompanied by a significant increase in renal vascular resistance, urinary flow, the glomerular filtration rate. Thus, the results obtained in this study provide evidence that the homeostatic role of the baroreflex is essential in the course of changes in both heart and kidney as in hyperglycemic animals normoglycemic by acting not only in control of changes moment to moment (lability) as well as interfering with sustained changes in BP, as observed in this study. These results could support population studies linking higher sensitivity of the baroreflex with a better prognosis and survival after a cardiovascular event in diabetic subjects

Full textMany epidemiological studies have linked diseases in adulthood, such as type-2 diabetes and hypertension, to adverse intrauterine environment during fetal life. Distinct factors related to dietary habits, such as salt intake, may have a major impact on the perinatal period. Recently, we have demonstrated that low-salt diet (LSD) during pregnancy is associated with low birth weight and diseases during adulthood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of LSD and high-salt diet (HSD) during pregnancy in rats. Female Wistar rats were fed with LSD, normal-salt diet or HSD since 8 weeks of age and matted with 12 weeks of age. These animals were studied at the third week of gestation and one additional group of virgin rats was evaluated as a control for the gestation effect. Placenta and fetus weight and uterine blood flow were lower and peripheral vascular resistance was higher in the LSD group. In the placenta from HSD rats, higher lipid peroxidation and AT1 receptor mRNA were observed. In conclusion, fetal weight, placenta weight and uterine blood flow are influenced by the degree of salt consumption during pregnancy.

Full textIn 23 conscious rats, the dynamic features of renal vascular conductance (RVC) in response to oscillatory changes in renal perfusion pressure (RPP) were studied at different mean RPPs. RPP, renal blood flow, and regional cortical and outer-medullary fluxes (laser-Doppler) were continuously recorded and the respective RVCs calculated. Mean RPP was changed ramp-wise with a low rate of change (dp/dt), whereby a decremental ramp was immediately followed by an incremental ramp. Superimposing RPP oscillations (amplitude 20 mmHg) of different frequencies (f=0.005, f=0.01, and f=0.02 Hz) increased maximum dp/dt, and thus increased vascular wall shear stress (WSS). The impact of RPP oscillations on RVC critically depended on mean RPP. RVC oscillations were several times higher at lower mean RPPs than at control RPP During the decremental ramps, increasing the frequency led to an increase in the maximum amplitude of total RVC, and decreased mean RPP where maximum amplitude occurred from 58 to 46 mmHg. This frequency dependence was abolished during incremental ramps. Lowering mean RPP resulted in a sudden reversal of phase between RPP and RVC oscillations at mean RPP between 95 and 80 mmHg. It is concluded that, above this RPP, myogenic vasoconstriction fully counterbalances passive vasodilatation, whereas, below that RPP, myogenic constriction gradually tapers off until, at about 50 mmHg, RVC is exclusively determined by passive dilation. Higher oscillatory frequencies, assumed to be due to increased WSS, elicit a greater response in RVC amplitude as an expression of vessel compliance, and, thus change the RPP characteristics of renal autoregulation. However, the efficiency of autoregulation is thereby barely changed.

Full textRenal artery stenosis (RAS) can lead to a so-called “ischemic” nephropathy but the mechanisms responsible for the development of chronic kidney disease in kidney downstream the RAS are largely unknown. There is an interest to know the degree of RAS that involves significant hémodynamic changes in the downstream kidney and if hypoxia occurs in this case. Therefore, we have undertaken two studies in order to describe the link between RAS degree and renal blood flow (RBF) and to search for the development of renal hypoxia in kidney downstream the RAS. Findings of the first study were that only a minor decrease of RBF occurs until the RAS degree reach 70%. We can thus conclude from these results that RAS degree must be at least of 70% to have hemodynamical repercussions in downstream kidney. In the second study, we describe the evolution of renal oxygen content (ROC) before and during 4 weeks after the constitution of RAS. ROC was measured weekly by the MRI BOLD technique, who allows to study ROC non-invasively by measuring the parameter called R2* that is inversely proportional to ROC. The value of R2* in the cortex, the outer medulla and the outer stripe of outer medulla in stenotic kidneys and controlateral kidneys was unchanged instead the development of atrophy of the kidney downstream the RAS. These results suggest that no renal hypoxia occur in this model and that renal atrophy is not caused by hypoxia

Full textAs doenças cardiovasculares são um problema de saúde com elevada incidência na população mundial. Desta forma, a caracterização do fluxo sanguíneo é uma importante estratégia para estabelecer uma relação entre o comportamento hemodinâmico e a ocorrência de doenças cardiovasculares. As complexas propriedades do fluxo sanguíneo, tornam-se ainda mais evidentes quando associadas a doenças cardiovasculares. A aterosclerose é a doença cardiovascular mais comum nas artérias, esta caracteriza-se pela deposição de placas nas paredes internas das artérias, levando à redução da área de secção transversal, denominada por estenose. Esta redução, pode produzir um impacto significativo no fluxo sanguíneo. O objetivo do presente trabalho, é o estudo numérico das propriedades hemodinâmicas da aorta abdominal ao nível da bifurcação renal, através da implementação de diferentes condições de escoamento. Esta região é um local propicio ao desenvolvimento de aterosclerose, levando a uma diminuição da corrente sanguínea, e consequentemente a problemas, como a hipertensão. As simulações foram realizadas utilizando, ANSYS FLUENT®, um software que emprega o método dos volumes finitos. Esta ferramenta permite avaliar a distribuição dos perfis de velocidade e tensões de corte na parede durante o ciclo cardíaco para os diferentes casos estudados. Neste estudo, foram analisadas as diferenças existentes na hemodinâmica quando se considera o sangue como um fluido newtoniano, mas com um escoamento laminar e com um escoamento turbulento, utilizando-se os modelos: k-ɛ, o k-ω SST e o Reynolds Stress. Posteriormente, examinaram-se as principais diferenças existentes na hemodinâmica quando se considera o sangue como um fluido newtoniano e como um fluido não-newtoniano, utilizando-se o modelo de Carreau. Os resultados obtidos permitiram identificar a influência dos diferentes modelos de turbulência no escoamento sanguíneo, indicando que o modelo k-ω STT seria o mais adequado. Para o modelo newtoniano e não-newtoniano, as diferenças são apenas mais evidentes para velocidades mais baixas, no entanto o modelo não-newtoniano deve ser utilizado para estudos do escoamento sanguíneo.
The cardiovascular diseases are a main health problem, with high incidence in the world population. Therefore, blood flow characterization is an important strategy to establish a relationship between the hemodynamic behavior and the appearing of cardiovascular pathologies. The complex properties of the blood flow, become even more evident when associated with vascular diseases. Atherosclerosis is the most common cardiovascular disease in arteries, leading to the reduction of the cross-sectional area, called stenosis. This reduction, is capable to induce a huge impact on the normal blood flow. The objective of the present work, is the study of hemodynamic properties on the abdominal aorta at the renal bifurcation region, through the implementation of different flow conditions. The renal arterial region is of high interest, once the development of atherosclerosis is recurrent, and may lead to renal problems, namely renal failure or to hypertension. The simulations were made using, ANSYS FLUENT ®, a software that uses the method of finite volumes. This tool allows to evaluate the distribution of the velocity and wall shear stress profiles, during a cardiac cycle for the diverse cases under study. In this investigation, were analyzed the existing differences on the hemodynamic, considering the blood as a Newtonian fluid, with a laminar flow and also with a turbulent flow, using the k-ɛ model, k-ω SST model and the Reynolds Stress model. Posteriorly, were examined the variances on the hemodynamic when considering now the blood flow as a Newtonian fluid and as a non-Newtonian fluid, using the Carreau model. The obtained results allowed to identify the influence of the different turbulence models on the blood flow, denoting that the k-ω SST model seems to be the more indicated. Between the Newtonian and the non-Newtonian flow models, the differences were more evident for lower velocities. On the other hand, the non-Newtonian model must be used for the study of the blood flow.

Chinese Medicine was innovated earlier than Modern Medicine. It is a bible of Chinese civilization in medicine. Chinese Medicine originated from Chinese people’s intelligence. And it has taken care of Chinese health generation by generation for thousands years. Recently, a resonance model of blood pressure circulation was presented by professor W.K. Wang. He considers that top ten of diseased death is related to blood circulation and the main cause is obstructive in blood circulation. This study develops a system with the function of real-time measuring, recording and analyzing the variation of peripheral blood flow waveform. The result is used to estimate the relation between blood circulation and physiological condition. It can be offer a reference for a medical doctor.

In this thesis, we proposed a real-time blood-flow-monitoring system with the merits of being portable and easy-to-operate for medical emergency applications. This device was designed to measure the patients’ blood pressures and arterial blood flow velocities via a non-invasive measuring approach. In most circumstances of performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to cardiac arrest patients, rescuers are required to palpate the patients’ carotid arteries to detect the recovery status. However, this method is unreliable due to the lack of quantitative standards and frequent misjudgments. Therefore, based on the characteristics of human blood circulation system, we adopt photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensors, a new design of piezoresistive arterial pulse sensors (APS), the signal processing circuits, and heartbeat waveform analyzing algorithms. By integrating these technics, we proposed a device that measured peripheral pulse wave velocities (PWV) at hands and necks of humans. We furthermore measured blood pressures and blood flow velocities from different subjects and analyzed the relations. In conclusion, we presented a non-invasive real-time blood-flow-monitoring system and it is expected to be integrated with the current emergency devices for practical medial resuscitations.
