Blood flow and pressure in a brachial artery under cuff pressure

In the present work, we investigate the artery pressure across a brachial artery under the cuff pressure. Deformation of the arm tissue is numerically simulated with the finite element method. The artery pressure is analyzed based on hemodynamics of blood circulation. From the analysis, it is found...

Description
Summary:In the present work, we investigate the artery pressure across a brachial artery under the cuff pressure. Deformation of the arm tissue is numerically simulated with the finite element method. The artery pressure is analyzed based on hemodynamics of blood circulation. From the analysis, it is found that the cuff pressure deforms the arm tissue significantly, but not the artery wall. Deformation of the artery wall is not significantly affected by the artery pressure. The artery pressure is found not to decrease significantly across a part of the arm pressurized by the cuff.
