    Intracranial Pressure and Temperature Control

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shaghaghi, Tahereh (Author) ; Shahrokhi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this thesis, simulation and control of intracranial pressure and temperature has been studied. Common methods for control of intracranial pressure and temperature are hypothermia treatment and drug therapy. Hypothermia is a clinical treatment for cooling the patient body with cold water-circulating blanket to decompress intracranial pressure by decreasing body temperature. In order to simulate the patient body, two mathematical models for single-input single-output and multi-input multi-output systems that are proposed in the literature are chosen. The thermodynamic- hemodynamic model was simulated as single-input single-output system and the thermodynamic- hemodynamic- pharmacokinetic... 

    Design and Prototype Blood Warmer

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shojaei Mehrizi, Nader (Author) ; Sayyadi, Hassan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Warming the injectable blood is a set of methods used to transfuse blood to the supplier (Accident patients, surgery, dialysis). These methods raise the temperature of the injected blood to body temperature. Blood transfusions are performed directly before World War II, so there is no need to heat the blood, Increased need for blood units caused blood banks. In these banks, to prevent the proliferation of pathogens, the temperature of blood units is reduced to 2-6 degrees Celsius. For indirect injection of these blood units, the injection temperature should be brought to the patient's body temperature before injection to prevent the recipient's body temperature from decreasing.In this...
