Factors Affecting Blood Viscosity
• Shear rate– At low shear rates, apparent
viscosity increases. – Yield stress required to start
fluid motion (Bingham Fluid)
• Plasma composition

Factors Affecting Blood Viscosity
• Cell concentration– Plasma is generally
considered to be a Newtonian fluid at physiological conditions ( = 1.6×10-3 kg/m·s)
– Increasing RBC concentration increases viscosity linearly (over a physiological range)

Factors Affecting Blood Viscosity
• Fibriogen concentration and hematocrit– Affects the yield
shear stress

Factors Affecting Blood Viscosity
• Vessel diameter– Apparent viscosity is lower
in small vessels (d < 0.3 mm)
– Apparent viscosity approx. constant in vessels above 0.3 mm

6.5 Hemolysis and platetet activation
1. Damage to the endothelial layer of the blood vessel wall
2. Platelets begin to adhere to damage site
3. Platelets secrete chemicals which cause other platelets to adhere to the original ones
4. Clotting factors are released which convert fibrinogen to fibrin
5. Fibrin fibres attach to clot

Blood clot

Thrombus• A thrombus is a blood undesired clot that forms
in a vessel where there is no external bleeding (vascular disease)
Thrombi in medical devices• Many flow factors contribute to thrombosis in
medical devices– Thrombosis is most common in areas of flow
stagnation– Additional factors include (Wood et al., 2005):
• Flow separation• Flow recirculation• High shear stresses or very low shear stresses• Surface roughness, sharp edges, or narrow gaps

Hemolysis
• Hemolysis is the destruction or damage of red blood cells
• haemoglobin is release into the surrounding blood
Hemolysis in medical devices• Due to a combination of high shear stress
and exposure time
