Podcast #268: Poiseuille's Law

Author: Dave Rosenberg, M.D.

Educational Pearls

  • Poiseuille's Law addresses the flow of a fluid through a tube.
  • Many common ED presentations involve alterations in flow: asthma, MI, ischemic stroke, etc.
  • According to the law, flow increases with the 4th power of the radius. That is to say, doubling the radius of the tube will increase the flow by 16x.
  • Therefore, in situations that require re-opening of an anatomic tube (artery, airway), small changes in the size of the opening will result in dramatic effects.
