Plethysmography is a measurement method used to determine volume changes in a specific part of the body. These volume changes can be caused by variations in the amount of blood or air in the area concerned.
In the medical field, plethysmography is often used to assess lung function by measuring changes in air volume in the lungs. This can help diagnose conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
There is also a method called impedance plethysmography, which measures blood volume changes, for example in the limbs, by observing changes in the electrical resistance of the body part concerned. This technique can be used to detect problems such as venous insufficiency or edema.
A Stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident, or CVA), also known as a 'brain attack,' occurs when a blood vessel supplying the brain is blocked by a clot (ischemic stroke) or bursts (hemorrhagic stroke). As a result, a part of the brain no longer receives the oxygen and nutrients it needs, leading to the death of brain cells.
Strokes can cause significant and permanent effects depending on the part of the brain affected and the duration of the blood flow interruption. Common symptoms include difficulty speaking, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, vision problems, sudden and severe headaches, and difficulty walking or imbalance.
Strokes are a medical emergency. Rapid treatment is crucial to minimize brain damage and prevent other potential complications
Arteries play an essential role in the circulatory system, transporting oxygenated blood from the heart to various parts of the body.
They are also involved in regulating blood pressure, thanks to their capacity to contract and dilate. In this way, arteries contribute to the maintenance of life and the functional activity of all organs.
The examination takes just 14 seconds.
Before placing the sensors, your patient should lie down for a few minutes in a quiet environment. The sensors, similar to those on pulse oximeters, are placed on the finger and toe, without the need to undress the patient.
