A Pinard horn is a type of stethoscope used to listen to the heart rate of a fetus during pregnancy. It is a hollow horn, often made of wood or metal, about 200 millimetres (7.9 in) long. It functions similarly to an ear trumpet by amplifying sound. The user holds the wide end of the horn against the pregnant woman's abdomen, and listens ...
External cardiotocography can be used for continuous or intermittent monitoring. The fetal heart rate and the activity of the uterine muscle are detected by two transducers placed on the mother's abdomen, with one above the fetal heart to monitor heart rate, and the other at the fundus of the uterus
The ILR monitors the electrical activity of the heart, continuously storing information in its circular memory (hence the name "loop" recorder) as electrocardiograms (ECGs). Abnormal electrical activity - arrhythmia is recorded by "freezing" a segment of the memory for later review.
A medical monitoring device displaying a normal human heart rate. Heart rate is the frequency of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per minute (beats per minute, or bpm). The heart rate varies according to the body's physical needs, including the need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide.
Azumio released a smart alarm clock and sleep analysis tool, Sleep Time, on March 28, 2012. [14] By using the accelerometer in mobile phones, the application uses movement-analysis algorithms to measure the user's level of body movement and correlates that with a specific phase of the sleep cycle (Light sleep and Deep sleep). Recognizing when a ...
Her heart stopped due to a tear in an artery in her heart, called spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) The tear grew larger after she was discharged, which caused Justine to have a second ...
Cardiotocography is used to monitor fetal heart rate. Decreased movement felt by the mother; Meconium in the amniotic fluid ("meconium stained fluid") Non-reassuring patterns seen on cardiotocography: increased or decreased fetal heart rate (tachycardia and bradycardia), especially during and after a contraction; decreased variability in the ...
