Objective Pregnant women's pulse was compared with the not impregnatedwomen's pulse; the result that pregnant women's pulse varies with age, pregnantmonth, as well as with fetus's sex were analyzed. The reason of existent differencebetween objective conclusion and the literature elaboration was discussed. The aimis to provide objective basis for change rule on pregnant women's pulse.Methods TP-I digital pulse meter were used to gather 670 cases of pulseincluding 563 cases of pregnant women's pulse and 107 cases of not impregnatedwomen's pulse. For pregnant women, age, pregnant month, and the predicted date ofchildbirth were recoded, moreover for the fetus sex. For women, age andmenstruation situation were recoded, and a follow-up visit were made to confirm notimpregnated after two months.Result Pregnant women have a higher ratio of rolling pulse, rapid pulse andpowerful pulse than. Compared pregnant women's rolling pulse with notimpregnated women's, the main difference consist largely in the elevatedfundamental wave, the lengthened contraction time(t4), narrowly changed W, thespeed up heart rate, and the reduced diastole time and the cardiac cycle. As to thepulse parameter, pregnant women's PSR1, CSR1, LMS2, LMP2 are remarkablylower than not impregnated women's(P<0.01), but PSR2-3, CSR2-4, LMS3, LMP3are remarkably higher (P<0.01). PSR4 is higher(P<0.05), in addition, BF, CSOare remarkably higher (P<0.01).Pregnant women in 26-30 have a higher ratio of powerful pulse than pregnantwomen who were younger or elder. Along with the age growing, the ratio of tautpulse raise, and the ratio of rolling pulse reduced.5 months pregnant women have a higher ratio of powerful pulse and a lowerratio of taut pulse than other month pregnant women(P<0.05). 7 months pregnantwomen have a higher ratio of rapid pulse than other month pregnant women(P<0.05). 3-4 months pregnant women have a lower ratio of powerful pulse than other month pregnant women.Compared with women with a female fetus, women with a male fetus have ahigher ratio of floating pulse and rolling pulse in left hand(P<0.05). The proportionof floating pulse in right hand of women with a male fetus is obviously higher thanthat of women with a female fetus (P<0.05). As to the pulse parameter, LLMS3,LLMP3 of women with a male fetus is obviously higher than that of women with afemale fetus(P<0.05). RBF of women with a male fetus is obviously lower than thatof women with a female fetus (P<0.05).Conclusion The difference of pulse between pregnant women and notimpregnated women is definitely existent. The result that pregnant women's pulsevarying with age, pregnant month, as well as with fetus's sex could be considered bythe pulse meter. But physiological significance of the pulse parameters expects forfurther studies. |
