Description

Of the factors that determine whether fluid moves from capillary blood into tissue or vice versa, capillary hydrostatic pressure is the only one that can change rapidly. Using this app a student or instructor can see how arterial and venous pressures and pre- and post-capillary resistances affect capillary pressure. Possible simulations include effects of a tourniquet, hemorrhagic hypotension, reflex vasoconstriction, etc. The app can be used for self-instruction or classroom demonstrations.

What's New in Version 1.2

iOS 7 & 8 threw a bug into Capillary Pressure. On iPads some digital controls and displays appeared briefly and then disappeared. Version 1.2 fixes this bug.
