This course offers an in-depth study of clinical measurements and medical instrumentation. The course covers biopotentials, biopotential electrodes, biosensors, and transducers, as well as key measurements such as ECG, ENG, EMG, ERG, and EEG. Students will learn about cardiovascular and respiratory system measurements, including blood pressure, blood flow, and pulmonary function analyzers. Additional topics include audiometry, biomedical virtual instrumentation, patient monitoring systems, and biomedical wireless telemetry. The course also explores clinical laboratory instruments like electrophoresis, ELISA, hematology, chromatography, spectroscopy, and blood gas analyzers, as well as therapeutic devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, and ventilators. Emphasis is placed on the design, operation, safety, and calibration of these instruments.
