Pulse rhythm

1.2K
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Rehabilitation Technology

Background:

  • Immobilization splints are standard for complex musculoskeletal injuries but cause patient discomfort and complications.
  • Existing splints lack real-time monitoring, hindering early detection of treatment-related issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an advanced "smart splint" using additive manufacturing and biocompatible materials.
  • To integrate sensors for monitoring key parameters like temperature, humidity, and pressure.
  • To enable early detection of complications and optimize patient recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized additive manufacturing techniques with biocompatible materials for splint fabrication.
  • Integrated sensors (temperature, humidity, pressure, infrared) into the splint design.
  • Tested the smart splint prototype on a patient's arm to collect real-time data.

Main Results:

  • The smart splint prototype successfully collected data on skin and splint temperatures.
  • Humidity variations due to sweat and pressure changes within the splint were accurately measured.
  • An infrared sensor confirmed the presence of the patient.

Conclusions:

  • The developed smart splint offers a viable alternative to traditional immobilization methods.
  • Real-time monitoring capabilities can lead to faster and improved recovery for musculoskeletal injuries.
  • This technology holds promise for enhanced clinical management and patient care.
