Fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) for fetal monitoring during labour.
BACKGROUND Animal and human studies have shown that fetal hypoxaemia during labour can alter the shape of the fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform, notably (1) the relation of the PR to RR intervals and (2) elevation or depression of the ST segment. Technical systems have therefore been developed to monitor the fetal ECG during labour as an adjunct to continuous electronic fetal heart rate mo...
متن کاملContinuous cardiotocography (CTG) as a form of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) for fetal assessment during labour.
BACKGROUND Cardiotocography (CTG) records changes in the fetal heart rate and their temporal relationship to uterine contractions. The aim is to identify babies who may be short of oxygen (hypoxic) to guide additional assessments of fetal wellbeing, or determine if the baby needs to be delivered by caesarean section or instrumental vaginal birth. This is an update of a review previously publish...
متن کاملAn overview of central fetal monitoring systems in labour.
A variety of systems for centralised viewing of fetal signals during labour are currently available, allowing simultaneous monitoring of multiple tracings in one or more locations. Display of maternal vital signs, ST signals and an electronic partogram are available in the majority of these systems. A few of them have incorporated computer analysis of cardiotocographic signals or combined cardi...

متن کاملRational approach to electronic fetal monitoring during labour in 'all' resource settings
Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) involves the use of cardiotocograph (CTG) to asses fetal wellbeing during labour in order to detect intrapartum fetal hypoxia early so as to institute timely and appropriate action. Indeed, when CTG was introduced into obstetric practice in the 1960s, it was expected to prevent perinatal brain injury and reduce the incidence of short term (neonatal admissions, ...
