Abstract
Summary form only given. We observe that floating electrode dielectric barrier discharge (FE-DBD) electric plasma is able to significantly hasten human blood plasma clot formation and influence normal blood protein concentrations. Here, a better understanding of influence of FE-DBD is needed and we propose a first step in this direction - an explanation of influence of FE-DBD on ion concentrations in blood plasma. The presented model compares normal blood coagulation rate with blood undergoing e-plasma treatment by assuming linear relationship between ion concentrations in blood plasma and positive radical production by e-plasma at the surface of blood. Electric plasma is effective in increase of Ca 2+ concentration through a redox mechanism: [Ca 2+ R 2- ]+H (H2O) - harrk Ca |k -Ca [H - R 2- ] (H2O) - +Ca (H2O) 2- . This mechanism is provided by hydrogen ions generated in air plasma through a sequence of ion-molecular processes
