Abstract:
An apparatus for detecting and notifying occurrence of post-partum haemorrhage in female patients is envisaged. Continued tracking of the blood discharged from a female patient's body during labor as well as postnatal operation procedures is provided for, and as soon as the amount of blood discharged from the body of the female patient exceeds a predetermined threshold value, a light-based alarm and sound-based alarm are triggered. The apparatus includes a first connector connected to the female patient when she is on a Labor Recovery Delivery bed, and a second connector woven onto an undergarment to be worn by the female patient. The first connector and second connector are connected to single use, disposable blood collection bags, whose weights are measured using weight sensors for an accurate calculation of the total amount of the blood lost by the female patient during labor operation procedures and postnatal operation procedures.
