FIELD: medical equipment.SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medical equipment, namely to monitoring technique using ultrasound. Device for evaluation of uterine muscle tone comprises first ultrasound transducer, focused on uterine muscles of patient, second ultrasound transducer of supplied and received reflected ultrasound energy, signal analysis unit, which presents received reflected ultrasound energy, in order to determine propagation velocity of shear waves in uterine muscles, and processor module for determining shear modulus and uterine muscle tone value, based on propagation velocity of shear waves. System for patient's monitoring additionally contains user interface for transmitting information, based on uterine muscle tone, to user. Method for assessing uterine muscle tone is performed by means of device.EFFECT: using inventions provides early detection of PPH.10 cl, 6 dwg |
