The method and the device are based on the change of arterial pressure in the arterial branch or the venous pressure in the venous branch of the extra-corporeal circuit being registered during the extra-corporeal blood treatment. If paravasal bleeding occurs during the blood treatment, the positive dynamic pressure on the line leading to the vascular access rises on the venous cannula during the extra-corporeal blood treatment, or the suction pressure on the line leaving the vascular access, such as the arterial cannula during extra-corporeal blood treatment, rises; that is, the suction pressure becomes more negative. The pressure rise begins moderately at first and then becomes increasingly greater. Decisive for the method and the device, therefore, is that pressure changes that come from a pressure level exhibiting a large difference from the reference value find stronger consideration than those that come from a pressure level that exhibits only a minor difference from the reference value. | 09-22-2011 |
