Zusammenfassung
Purpose: Monitoring of coagulation tendencies is important during many therapies, e.g. during dialysis or heart surgery with extracorporeal blood circulation. The monitoring could be done with ultrasound which can help physicians to make informed decisions on treatments. To ensure safety and to get administrative approval of the ultrasound measurement lots of experiments are necessary. Therefore a fluid that mimics rheological as well as acoustical properties of blood as closely as possible is necessary. Material & methods: We want to model the early stages of coagulation and therefore adapted a recipe of a bloo…
