A combinational fetal heart rate monitor and uterine activity measuring device for use on a pregnant patient. The fetal heart rate and uterine activity monitor comprising a plurality of electrodes disposed to be attached on the abdomen of the patient and an ultrasound transducers disposed to be attached on the abdomen of the patient. An energy source is operable to generate an excitation signal and the energy source is connected to a multiplexer which is connected between the plurality of electrodes and the ultrasound transducer, the multiplexer being selectively positioned to direct the excitation signal from the energy source to either the electrode or the ultrasound transducer. An amplifier connected to the energy source compares the excitation signal to the excitation signal after it passes through the abdomen of the patient. The signal from the amplifier is demodulated and processed to calculate physiological parameter based on the change in the excitation signal.

A system and method for monitoring and estimating the blood pressure of a pregnant patient that modifies the blood pressure estimating algorithm when the patient is pre-eclamptic. The level of carbon monoxide within a patient's bloodstream or exhaled breath can be analyzed to determine whether a pregnant patient is pre-eclamptic. After the patient has been diagnosed as pre-eclamptic, the NIBP monitoring system adjusts its algorithm for estimating the patient's blood pressure to compensate for the physical changes that occur in the patient during pre-eclampsia. The adjusted blood pressure estimates calculated by the NIBP monitoring system can be calculated using different adjustment techniques and methods and are displayed on the NIBP monitor.

A uterine activity monitoring device and method for monitoring uterine activity on a nearly continuous basis. The device may comprise a belt configured to fit around a pregnant patient's abdomen, with a plurality of, uterine contraction sensors. These sensors may be protruding contraction sensing buttons, disposed generally perpendicular to the patient's skin. In order to avoid signal distortions caused by patient movement, the belt will often have at least one ambient motion sensor configured to monitor non-uterine contraction movements and produce background movement signals. These ambient motion sensors may be accelerometers and stretch or pressure disposed generally parallel to the patient's skin. The device will have an onboard processor communicate wirelessly with a variety of external monitoring and management systems, such as wrist worn monitors, cell phones, and remote patient management websites.

Systems and methods for producing cervical ripening in a pregnant patient. The method includes generating an electrical stimulation current between about 0.01 milliamperes and about 6 milliamperes using a current unit, coupling an electrode probe to the current unit, and inserting the electrode probe transvaginally so that at least one electrode of the electrode probe is in contact with the patient's cervix. The method also includes applying the electrical stimulation current from the current unit through the electrode probe and the at least one electrode to the patient's cervix to produce ripening of the patient's cervix.

The nutritional supplements consist of 100-800 micrograms of vitamin A, 5-20 micrograms of vitamin B12, 1.5-10 micrograms of vitamin D and 5-150 milligrams of vitamin E, and have the effects of preventing and protecting against osteoporosis; and the nutritional supplements are especially suitable for pregnant patients. The composition, namely the nutritional supplements, provided by the invention can be prepared into nutritious products or health foods, and can be used for preparing pharmaceuticals.

The invention discloses an ante partum new-born baby risk predicting method for a heart disease pregnant patient, a system and a medium. The method comprises the steps of performing data screening andcharacteristic extraction on pre-acquired medical data of a congenital heart disease pregnant patient and a new-born baby, and acquiring an influence factor which corresponds with a production risk;performing single-factor logistic regression analysis on the influence factor, and screening all variables with probability p smaller than a preset threshold; performing multiple-factor logistic regression analysis on all the screened variables, and establishing a logistic regression model; inputting a left ventricular ejection fraction, a left atrial diameter, a left ventricular diameter, an ascending aorta inner diameter, pulmonary artery systolic pressure and pulmonary artery average pressure into the logistic regression model, thereby obtaining an ante partum new-born baby risk evaluationresult of a to-be-predicted target.

The invention relates to a device convenient for a bedridden assisted reproductive pregnant patient for B ultrasound examination and belongs to the technical field of medical devices. The invention solves the problems that an examining table used when the hospitalized assisted reproductive pregnant patient is subjected to the B ultrasound examination has single function and is not convenient for the assisted reproductive pregnant patient lying in the bed to be subjected to the B ultrasound examination; in the operation process, the time and the labor are wasted, the assisted reproductive pregnant patient lying in the bed also feel very uncomfortable, and the patient's condition can be aggravated.
