Summary
This study introduces a new device for rapid cardiac-vascular system examination using synchronized electrocardiogram (ECG) and pulse-wave signals. It offers optimal intraoperative monitoring for pacemaker function by analyzing both ECG and pulse-wave data.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular physiology
- Biomedical engineering
- Medical instrumentation
Context:
- Intraoperative monitoring is crucial for patient safety during cardiac procedures.
- Pacemaker function assessment requires continuous physiological data.
- Current methods may lack integrated analysis of electrical and mechanical cardiac activity.
Purpose:
- To develop and describe a novel device for rapid, integrated examination of the cardiac-vascular system.
- To enable simultaneous analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) and pulse-wave signals.
- To introduce a new method for pulse-wave registration using a fiber-optic pressure sensor.
Summary:
- The paper presents a device that processes synchronously incoming ECG and pulse-wave signals for express examination of the cardiac-vascular system.
- The equipment facilitates intraoperative monitoring of pacemaker functions by optimizing the regimen for both ECG and pulse-wave.
- A miniature fiber-optic pressure sensor is described for novel pulse-wave registration.
Impact:
- Provides a more comprehensive and efficient method for intraoperative cardiac assessment.
- Enhances the ability to monitor and manage pacemaker function in real-time.
- Offers a new technological approach to cardiovascular signal acquisition and analysis.
