Abstract:
Bowel sounds is an important indicator to monitor and reflect intestinal motor function, and traditional manual auscultation requires high professional knowledge and rich clinical experience of doctors. In addition, long-time auscultation is time-consuming and laborious， which may lead to misjudgment caused by subjective error. To solve the problem, firstly, the wavelet transform is used to preprocess the bowel sounds signal for noise reduction and enhancement. Secondly, three typical features of intestinal sound were extracted. According to the combination of these features, a three-stage decision was designed to carry out multi-parameter and multi-feature joint threshold detection. This algorithm realized the detection of bowel sound signal and the location of its start and end points, making it possible that the complete bowel sound signal was extracted effectively. In this study, a large number of clinical data and label of bowel sounds were collected, and a new effective evaluation method was proposed to verify the proposed method. The accuracy rate is 83.51%. Results of this study will provide systematic support and theoretical guarantee for the diagnosis of intestinal diseases and the monitoring of postoperative intestinal function recovery of patients.
