  Blood damage (hemolysis) can occur during clinical procedures, e.g. dialysis,
due to human error or faulty equipment, and it can cause significant harm to
the patient or even death. We propose a simple technique to monitor changes in
hemolysis levels accurately, continuously, and in real time. As red blood cells
rupture, the overall conductivity of the blood increases. Here, we demonstrate
that small changes in porcine blood hemolysis can be detected accurately
through a simple resistance measurement.
