To assess the performance, calibration characteristics, and sensitivity of a constant-temperature hot-film anemometer for measuring blood velocity relative to an electromagnetic flowmeter.
Tested constant-temperature hot-film anemometers with conical needle and catheter-mounted probes inside an in vitro flow model.
Evaluated calibration, linearization, zero-point drift, and sensitivity changes caused by hematocrit, probe angulation, flow direction, and film surface deposits.
Performed 27 simultaneous velocity recordings comparing the hot-film anemometer with an electromagnetic flowmeter.
Mean anemometer measurements were 6 ± 8% higher and peak measurements were 16 ± 6% higher than electromagnetic flowmeter values (p < 0.001 for both).
Anemometer signals preceded electromagnetic flowmeter signals by 0.01 to 0.03 seconds and were direction-insensitive.
The hot-film anemometer demonstrated a frequency response high enough to detect turbulent flow while showing qualitative correspondence to flowmeter curves.
