PERIUMBILICAL INFANT ECG SENSOR AND MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

A periumbilical infant ECG sensor system for measuring the condition of the heart and overall circulatory system of a newborn infant. The ECG sensor system also preferably includes an Sp02 sensor for measuring the oxygen saturation level of the infant's hemoglobin. The sensor system is fastenable about the stub of the infant's umbilical cord. The sensor system is preferably connected to an electronics module housed in a cavity of an umbilical cord clamp. The electronics module has a power source for supplying power to the ECG sensor and the Sp02 sensor and a transceiver for wirelessly communicating the ECG and Sp0<
