Philips medical devices : Philips fetal monitor

 

Corona disease paralyzed the movement of the world due to the risks it poses to human health, and doctors advise to avoid crowding, sterilize well and stay at home as much as possible

The disease has complications in a segment of people more than others, as the weaker the immune system, the more likely it is to get complications when sick.

Pregnant women are considered to be more vulnerable to complications

The risks during pregnancy of Coronavirus to pregnant women is low. However, pregnancy increases the risk of serious disease and even death. Pregnant women infected with COVID-19 have been shown to be more likely to develop respiratory complications as they are required to be placed under intensive care, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Pregnant women are also likely to be put on a ventilator.

to avoid this problem, doctors advise the pregnant to stay at home, but there is a problem, it is necessary to visit the doctor to monitor and track the fetus, and the health of his mother, and this interaction between the pregnant woman and the doctors poses a high risk of infection with the virus on both of them.

So the reasons for this problem led to the need to track and monitor pregnant women remotely.

A lot of Companies have investigated this issue and one of them Philips has developed a device that can remotely monitor the fetus and its mother, Philips fetal monitor "Philips Avalon fetal monitoring solutions".

Avalon "Philips fetal monitor" includes a wealth of technical advances in monitoring, measurement, and transducer technology that allow mothers to move during labor during routine high-risk deliveries. And with Smart Pulse technology, you can distinguish between maternal pulse and fetal heart rate without the need for an additional sensor like SpO2 and ECG, even when complications are monitored.

The maternal and fetal pod and patch allows continuous and non-invasive monitoring of the maternal heart rate, fetal heart rate and using uterine activity a single-use 48-hour electrode patch applied to the mother's abdomen.

Whereas, the patch is designed to be placed on the patient by the doctor only once, and this is what we do not notice in the other belts.

 

In addition to medical solutions of  Philips fetal monitor, provides Comforts and ease of movement for the pregnant woman while she wants to do any movement without problems or inconvenience. It also provides psychological support for the mother, provided that her fetus and his health are always under continuous monitoring.

With regard to the doctor, the device provides a set of necessary information and data without the need to perform the traditional method and also the doctor has the possibility of continuous monitoring to see the health of the fetus and its mother, and it dissolves as soon as possible in the event that the matter calls for it.

The most important thing for all is to avoid contact that leads to virus infection.

 In the end, Philips Fetal Monitor provides the Comforts, psychological support for the mother, necessary information and data, continuous monitoring, non invasive method and that give it the right to be an excellent device in our current conditions, and in my opinion it is a good device for all times not just in covid 19.
