Abstract:

During the care of critically ill hospitalized patients, it is difficult for the specialist doctor to diagnose some life-threatening pathologies (for example, pulmonary thromboembolism), especially when patients present with loss of consciousness, in addition to possibly have nonspecific data of hemodynamic involvement, which is why patients remain connected to devices that monitor the patient's electrical signals continuously, where the
most representative is the electrocardiogram (ECG). While the treating physician may interpret changes in the electrical activity of the heart, by seeing the ECG screen constantly, which is impractical. The continuous monitoring activity can be carried out with the device called Holter, but the Holter does not provide information to the doctor in real time. From this problem is derived the formulation of this project, where work has been done on the acquisition and processing of the electrical signals of the heart in real time in order to make them available to the specialist.

Keywords:
