ABSTRACT:
A cannula that is usable to remove blood from a patient during an operation such as bypass surgery where the cannula has a pressure sensor in the form of an electronic piezoresistive chip located at or adjacent the location within the heart where the blood is being removed. The crystal has a sensing side and a reference side that is exposed to a reference pressure that is known. The piezoresistive chip is mounted at the distal end of the cannula such that its sensing side faces outwardly away from the central bore of the cannula that is transporting the blood that is being removed and thus is isolated from the dynamic effects of the moving blood. In addition, the pressure sensor has a characteristic drift based on temperature and the sensor is therefore standardized at body temperature, 36 degrees Centigrade, so that the pressure sensor is standardized at the temperature at which it will be used when positioned within the patient. As such, the pressure sensor is zeroed at the body temperature and is more accurate in measuring pressure.
