Impedance cardiography is based on admittance changes induced by volume changes of the intrathoracic blood vessels, but also by the longitudinal orientation of red blood cells induced by flow. An experiment was set up to separate these two phenomena and to study their frequency dependence. Admittance changes of flowing blood with variable haematocrit, of a saline solution and of plasma were measured in an in vitro set-up. Four different alternating current frequencies were used: 100 kHz, 5 MHz, 15 MHz and 20 MHz. The measured admittance appeared to be dependent on blood flow: when blood flow increased, admittance in the longitudinal direction increased. This increase was stronger for higher haematocrits, probably due to the longitudinal orientation of the blood cells. At higher frequencies, the orientation effect of the red cells became negligibly small. No frequency or flow dependent admittance change was detected when saline or plasma was used as the perfusate. It is concluded that the orientation effect can be neglected at high frequencies. Impedance cardiography in this range will give more reliable information about volume changes. |
