background

Uterine contraction, which is the contraction of the uterus, directly promotes the fetus to discharge from the mother, and is the motive force for promoting delivery. The uterine contraction is an important basis for reflecting the childbirth state of the pregnant woman, and the monitoring of the uterine contraction has important significance for ensuring the health of the mother fetus. During labor examinations, contractions are often monitored by an Intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC), a tocolumometer (tocolumometer, TOCO) and a physician palpating the abdomen of the pregnant woman. The IUPC method, which is an invasive measurement method in which a catheter is inserted into a uterine cavity through the vagina and intrauterine or amniotic fluid pressure is measured by using a sensor on the catheter, reflects the uterine contraction pressure value, duration, pause time, etc., may cause infection if carelessly operated, and thus cannot be used for routine monitoring. The TOCO is a non-invasive measurement method, a pressure sensor is fixed on the abdomen by an elastic band, and the intrauterine pressure is indirectly evaluated by measuring the deformation of the abdomen, so that the measured pressure is influenced by a measurement initial value and the tightness degree of belt bundling, and is also easily influenced by the body position and obesity of a lying-in woman. Some pregnant women can sense uterine contraction, and some can not. The pregnant woman feels the uterine contraction by palpating the abdomen of the pregnant woman, and the method has strong subjectivity and is inconvenient for long-term monitoring.

Uterine Electromyogram (EHG) is closely related to mechanical activity of uterus, and is expected to become a means for effectively identifying and monitoring uterine contractions of pregnant and lying-in women. Assessment of the magnitude and direction of EHG conduction velocity is a novel approach to diagnosis of preterm labor. Studies have shown that near parturition, there is a significant change in the number of uterine myocyte gap junctions, which results in an increase in EHG signaling rate, and that uterine contractions, both in the state of labor and non-labor, can be identified by estimating the rate of conduction, providing a basis for diagnosing preterm labor. The conduction velocity is obtained by using the ratio of the distance between the electrodes to the conduction time between the corresponding electrodes, so that the electrode distance needs to be measured accurately and conveniently in clinic. At present, the electrodes are placed according to the position of the uterus, the uterus is touched to find the position of the uterus, the electrodes are placed at specific positions of the uterus, and the positions and the number of the electrodes are determined according to the experimental requirements. After pregnancy, the uterus of the mother has changed significantly to adapt to the growth of the fetus. Before pregnancy the uterus was only small pears, 50 grams in weight and a volume of about 7 cm 4.5 cm 3.5 cm. Generally, when a single fetus is pregnant in a full term, the uterus weight is 1000 g, which is increased by 20 times, 5000 ml of contents such as fetus, amniotic fluid and the like can be accommodated, and the full term uterus is 35 cm long, 25 cm wide and about 22 cm thick. After pregnancy, the uterus can be gradually enlarged along with the growth and development of a fetus, so the distance between electrodes is different between people and the pregnant week, the distance between the electrodes needs to be measured by a ruler, and the problems of inaccurate measurement, inconvenience and the like exist in actual operation. Aiming at the problem, the invention provides a flexible abdominal ruler for measuring the distance between electrodes on the abdomen of a pregnant woman, and the relative position between different electrodes is calculated by recording the coordinates of each electrode.
