Vývoj zařízení na neinvazivní měření compartment syndromu a analýza naměřených výsledků

Abstract

The diploma thesis Development of Equipment for Non-invasive Measurement Compartment Syndrome and Analysis of the Measured Results is divided into 9 chapters. The first chapter includes theoretical analysis of acute compartment syndrome, its symptoms and pathophysiology. Next chapter contains research of literature for currently available technologies capable of helping with compartment syndrome diagnostics with an emphasis on current options for noninvasive measurement techniques, which could be used for this purpose. Following chapters are theoretical introduction to holter type devices and bioimpedance measurement. Later chapters focus on the practical side of this thesis, mainly design of an Arduino based device which would use integrated circuits AD5933 for long term continual monitoring of bioimpedance of two limbs at the same time. A functional prototype version of this device is created and in the last few chapters this prototype is tested for measurement accuracy. The last chapter of the thesis contains measured data analysis and outline of future development of this device.
