Recording and Analysis of Bowel Sounds
Background The aim of this study was to construct an electronic bowel sound recording system and determine its usefulness for the diagnosis of appendicitis, mechanical ileus and diffuse peritonitis. Materials and methods A group of 67 subjects aged 17 to 88 years including 15 controls was examined. Bowel sounds were recorded using an electret microphone placed on the right side of the hypogas...
متن کاملPhonoenterography: the recording and analysis of bowel sounds.
EDITORIAL COMMENT Bowel sounds, seemingly so simple on auscultation, become a very complex and poorly understood sign when submitted to a scientific study. Further correlation with clinical syndromes is needed. This technique offers a simple method, and one without any discomfort to patients, for studying effects of drugs affecting bowel mobility. Bowel sounds are physical phenomena which can b...
متن کاملBowel Sounds Are Not Associated With Flatus, Bowel Movement, or Tolerance of Oral Intake in Patients After Major Abdominal Surgery.
BACKGROUND Auscultation for bowel sounds has been advocated by some clinicians as a method to determine the resolution of postoperative ileus. OBJECTIVE Our primary aim was to prospectively evaluate the relationships between bowel sounds and the ability to tolerate oral intake in patients after major abdominal surgery. Secondarily we aimed to evaluate relationships among bowel sounds, flatus ...
متن کاملNon-invasive algorithm for bowel motility estimation using a back-propagation neural network model of bowel sounds
BACKGROUND Radiological scoring methods such as colon transit time (CTT) have been widely used for the assessment of bowel motility. However, these radiograph-based methods need cumbersome radiological instruments and their frequent exposure to radiation. Therefore, a non-invasive estimation algorithm of bowel motility, based on a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model of bowel sounds (BS...
متن کاملUsing Bowel Sounds to Create a Forensically-aware Insulin Pump System
Patients are increasingly reliant on implantable medical device systems today. For patients with diabetes, an implantable insulin pump system can greatly improve their quality of life. As with any device, these devices can and do suffer from software and hardware issues, often reported as a safety event. For a forensic investigator, a safety event is indistinguishable from a potential security ...
