An Improved Electronic Esophageal Stethoscope using Sound and Pressure Sensors

A Wireless Electronic Esophageal Stethoscope for Continuous Monitoring of Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems during Anaesthesia

Background: The basic requirements for monitoring anesthetized patients during surgery are assessing cardiac and respiratory function. Esophageal stethoscopes have been developed for this purpose, but these devices may not provide clear heart and lung sound due to existence of various noises in operating rooms. In addition, the stethoscope is not applicable for continues monitoring, and it is u...

Monitoring Lung Disease Using Electronic Stethoscope Arrays

Respiratory support is a lifesaving therapy, but it also augments the risk of contracting complications attributable to the endotracheal tube, positive pressure ventilation, or sedation. It is essential to develop strategies to optimize respiratory support in order to minimize the development of these complications. Management of such patients is difficult because the underlying pathologies are...

The electronic stethoscope

Most heart diseases are associated with and reflected by the sounds that the heart produces. Heart auscultation, defined as listening to the heart sound, has been a very important method for the early diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction. Traditional auscultation requires substantial clinical experience and good listening skills. The emergence of the electronic stethoscope has paved the way for a n...
