Purpose: This study was performed to find correlations between Edema Index and Pulse Energy in early postpartum period.
Methods: Fiftynine postpartum women were participated in this study which was conducted with Inbody 720 (Biospace Co. Ltd) and 3D Blood Pressure Pulse Analyzer (3D-MAC).
Edema Index (Extra Cellular Water/Total Body Water) calculated after body composition analysis and 3D-MAC result (Pulse Energy) were analysed within a week after delivery.
Results: The results were as follows
1. Edema Indexes of the upper, lower limbs, trunk and whole body were associated with each other respectively.
2. Edema Indexes and Right Kwan pulse energy had significant positive correlation.
3. Right Kwan pulse energy showed positive correlations with Left Kwan, Right Chon, Right Cheok.
Conclusions: Viscera associated with Postpartum Edema are Spleen, Lung, Liver and Vital Gate. The most important thing is thought to be Spleen.
