Fetal brain monitoring: Future applications

Fetal brain monitoring: future applications.

Future application of fetal brain monitoring is explored by selecting and analysing articles for information on types of brain damage that can be monitored, where in the brain this can be done, how long after the risk exposure, and with what method of investigation. A limited number of--mainly--case histories reported that early (cell death and oedema) and late (gliosis) effects of brain damage...

The future of fetal heart rate monitoring.

Medical technology is developing at an accelerated rate. Advances and refinement in techniques of electronic fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring are continually being designed and tested. Many of these show real promise for the future. Never-theless, for the next several years there are two major considerations. First, a more universal application of FHR monitoring i.e., to the "normal" patient ä...

The Future of Electronic Fetal Monitoring

Fetal electrocardiographic monitoring: past, present and future--a historical perspective.

The first recording of the fetal electrocardiogram was described 80 years ago. Since that time only the peak of the QRS complex has been used in fetal monitoring for the measurement of fetal heart rate. Attempts to quantify changes in the configuration and time constants have been attempted over the last 30 years but despite the data obtained from animal experiments suggesting configurational c...

Monitoring Enterprise Applications and the future of Self-Healing Applications

With the drastic growth of the Internet and the advance of hardware and software technologies, the enterprise information systems supporting business operations and functions have become more and more complex. The need of monitoring the behavior of such systems is becoming apparent, since it allows detecting problems early and resolving them before they become fatal and affect business seriousl...
