A new instrumentation system accurately measures postpartum breast engorgement in nursing mothers. This system utilizes a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) for precise qualitative and quantitative assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Lactation Studies

Background:

  • Postpartum breast engorgement is a common concern for nursing mothers, potentially impacting breastfeeding success.
  • Accurate measurement of breast engorgement is crucial for understanding its progression and developing effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an innovative instrumentation system for measuring breast engorgement.
  • To enable both qualitative and quantitative assessments of breast engorgement in postpartum mothers.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an instrumentation system incorporating a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT).
  • Integration of associated electronic components for signal processing and data acquisition.
