Abstract
Electromagnetic blood flowmeters and flow probes are used to measure blood flow in blood vessels throughout the circulatory system. The principle of this measuring device is based on laws of electromagnetic induction. The instrument is predominantly used in research, but presently also used in human cardiovascular units to measure blood flow in blood vessels, and in prosthesis in conjunction with cardiovascular surgical procedures. Electromagnetic flow equipment provides the most accurate measurement (in vivo) of blood flow available, both for acute and chronic implants. Some of the theoretical and practical considerations for effective use of this instrument are presented.
