Abstract

A new portable fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine contraction (UC) monitor has been developed. The system is portable, light weight, small size, battery powered. It provides a predetermined "long-term" monitoring, and stores abnormal data. Only one 9 V commercial battery is used for the whole system, so it could be used safely by the high risk pregnant woman to monitor the abnormal FHR and UT activities, when she is not in the hospital. When the microprocessor-based system detects a predetermined "long-term" abnormal activity, it can activate the appropriate alarm to advise the pregnant woman to go to hospital as soon as possible. The abnormal data from the monitor are not transmitted to the hospital's personal computer till the pregnant woman receives medical treatment. A PC-based software to display the long-term abnormal FHR and UT data from the portable monitor by using window figures or graphs has also been provided, and these figures could help clinical doctors make diagnoses.

便携式胎儿心率和子宫收缩监测仪的设计

研制了一种新型便携式胎儿心率(FHR)和子宫收缩(UC)监护仪。该系统便于携带，重量轻，体积小，由电池供电。它提供预定的“长期”监控，并存储异常数据。整个系统只使用一个9v商用电池，因此高危孕妇在不住院的情况下，可以安全使用，监测异常的FHR和UT活动。当基于微处理器的系统检测到预定的“长期”异常活动时，它可以激活适当的警报，建议孕妇尽快去医院。在孕妇接受治疗之前，监视器上的异常数据不会传输到医院的个人计算机上。本文还提供了一种基于pc的软件，以窗口图形或图形的方式显示便携式监护仪的长期异常FHR和UT数据，这些数据可以帮助临床医生进行诊断。
