From: Changes in bowel sounds of inpatients undergoing general anesthesia

Linear CVs

Calculation methods

Physiological significance

Num_bs

The number of identified effective bowel sounds during the measurement

Frequency of bowel sounds in the 5 min

Sum_bs

The sum of the absolute values of the identified effective bowel sounds

Reflecting the total energy of the bowel sounds

Sum_Duration_bs

The sum of the duration of the identified effective bowel sounds

Reflecting the total duration of bowel sounds

Mean_Duration

The mean of the duration of effective bowel sounds

Mean duration of effective bowel sounds

Std_Duration

The standard deviation of the duration of effective bowel sounds

Standard deviation of duration of effective bowel sounds

Mean_Mag_bs

The mean of the mean absolute value of effective bowel sounds

The average energy of effective bowel sounds

Std_Mag_bs

The standard deviation of the mean absolute value of effective bowel sounds

The standard deviation of the energy of the effective bowel sound
