Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

807
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...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

20
Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure01:30

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure

980
Direct Method
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • Current cardiac monitoring for pediatric patients necessitates hospital visits, impacting quality of life and physical activity.
  • Frequent monitoring, like heart rate (HR) tracking, poses limitations for children with heart conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the performance of a novel textile-based device, SKIIN, for measuring heart rate (HR) in children.
  • To assess the accuracy of the SKIIN device across various physical activities, including rest and exercise.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty pediatric participants (healthy and with heart disease) were enrolled.
  • The SKIIN device's HR measurements were compared against a reference electrocardiogram using normalized root mean squared error.
  • Participant and parental feedback on the textile device's wearability and comfort were collected via questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • HR measurements from SKIIN and the reference system showed significant changes across different tasks (P < 0.001) but were not significantly different from each other (P > 0.05).
  • The normalized root mean squared error was low, at 3.8% ± 3.0% for healthy children and 3.6% ± 3.7% for children with heart disease.
  • All participants reported the textile device as non-irritating and easy to wear.

Conclusions:

  • Smart textiles, exemplified by the SKIIN device, demonstrate robust and convenient HR monitoring capabilities.
  • The study confirms that textile-based monitoring offers comparable accuracy to standard clinical devices for pediatric heart rate assessment.
