Abstract
The main goal of this work was to verify the hypothesis about the possibility of inducing small artificial venous pulsations in the terminal area of the forearm vascular tree by using a local orthostatic maneuver. That pulsations could be used for measurement, of the regional venous blood oxygenation (rSvO2) without any additional apparatus as it is practiced in the classic occlusion method. The complexity of the research object, as well as dynamically changing environmental and hemodynamic conditions that occurs in this type of measurement, significantly impedes the comprehensive analysis of anatomical reactions occurring during the implementation of the mentioned maneuver. For that reason, research was done by the modified HOMS model. The basic variant of the chosen model was expanded by a quasi–hydrostatic factor Ph(t) affecting on the area under consideration. The extension was realized by using the complex θδ[abc] function, defined in details in chapter 3. The results obtained during the work indicate the possibility of obtaining venular quasi–pulsations several times higher (modulation ratio MV ≈ 30%) than the arterial pulsations observed for the typical pulse oximetry (typical MA = 1 ÷ 2%). This confirms the hypothesis given in the introduction and proves the possibility of inducing pulsations with using the local orthostatic maneuver. Moreover, obtained values of the coefficient MV show the potential possibility of the empirical detection with using standard pulse oximetry tools.
