background: fetal heart rate (fhr) extracted from abdominal electrocardiogram (ecg) is a powerful non-invasive method in appropriately assessing the fetus well-being during pregnancy. despite significant advances in the field of electrocardiography, the analysis of fetal ecg (fecg) signal is considered a challenging issue which is mainly due to low signal to noise ratio (snr) of fecg. objective...

background: desirable oxygenation of preterm newborns has particular importance, for this reason different methods have been proposed to improve oxygenation of the newborns; one of these methods is the newborns' position. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of the position of low birth weight neonates on arterial oxygen saturation and heart rate. methods: this interventional ...

background: this study was conducted to evaluate variations in heart rate and to determine the occurrence of oculocardiac reflex (ocr) during laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik). methods: this descriptive, prospective study was designed to observe the effect of suction ring and ablation stages during lasik procedure on the heart rate. the ecg was taken before and during lasik operation on the ...
