The Blood Circuit

Arterial Pressure Monitor (Pre-pump)

The pressure between the blood pump and blood access can be measured by using arterial pressure monitor. The monitored pressure is considered in the high positive range in the post blood pump, but the pressure us negative between the blood pump and the access. There is an alarm present which rings when the patient is separated from the blood tubing in the blood circuit. The transducer signals are amplified in the machine, and as a result it converts into an electrical signal which helps in transformation of information. The blood circuit monitors the pressure of the blood, and the pressure reading normally in negative in the blood circuit which prohibits the entry of air into the blood stream. Negative pressure is useful in many ways, and there are long needles and small bores present which increase the pressure in the blood stream and as a result the negative pressure readings also increase. When the pressure is out of range, the alarms play their role appropriately (Jaski et al. 2003, pp. 226-231).

High Arterial Pressure Alarm

Often the pressure of blood is high in the arteries and as a result the alarms ring in the blood circuit. This is due to the increase in blood pressure of the patient which creates disturbance in the circuit, or when there is a distortion between the pump and access in the circuit. When the saline infusion line is unclamped it also becomes a reason for high arterial pressure alarm.

Low Arterial Pressure Alarm

At times, the pressure of blood falls down and the alarms start ringing. There are different reasons for the low arterial pressure which includes low blood pressure of the patient, air bubbles in the tube, vessel wall suction into the needle, and hook between the pump and ...
