摘要：
A system and method of acquiring and transmitting uterine EMG signals is disclosed, where a signal processing module processes incoming uterine EMG signals from a patient and wirelessly transmits a processed signal to an information relaying device. The information relaying device is then configured to download the processed signal and transmit the signal to a call center or health care facility for physician evaluation. The system is ambulatory, thus allowing the patient to record and transmit uterine EMG signals anywhere a satisfactory transmission may be made. Additionally, a system and method of using electromyography for monitoring and diagnosis of uterine rupturing is disclosed, where incoming electrical signals from the lower uterine segment muscle fibers demonstrate an attenuated signal as the lower uterine segment thins and separates during the dilatation and effacement process of labor identifying those patients at increased risk for rupture.
