Electronic fetal heart rate monitoring: research guidelines for interpretation.
The purpose of the National Institutes of Health research planning workshops is to assess the research status of clinically important areas. This article reports on a workshop whose meetings were held between May 1995 and November 1996 in Bethesda, Maryland, and Chicago, Illinois. Its specific purpose was to develop standardized and unambiguous definitions for fetal heart rate tracings. The rec...
متن کاملFetal heart rate monitoring: interpretation and collaborative management.
Effective intrapartum fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring requires ongoing collaboration among health care providers. Nurses, midwives, and physicians must have a shared understanding of 1) how FHR tracings are interpreted, 2) which FHR patterns are associated with actual or impending fetal acidemia, 3) when and within what time frame the physician or the midwife should be notified of variant FHR...
متن کاملA Survey of Computerized Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring and Interpretation Techniques
Fetal heart rate (FHR) reveals crucial information about fetal conditions and FHR monitoring is a standard clinical procedure widely used during pregnancy and labor. FHR tracing can be interpreted as reassuring, non-reassuring, and ominous patterns. Accurate interpretation of fetal state from FHR tracing can prompt necessary interventions before irreversible conditions occur and reduce the numb...
متن کاملEvaluation of fetal wellbeing by antepartum fetal heart monitoring.
The value of antenatal fetal heart rate monitoring was assessed in 301 patients. Tracings from each patient were classified as "reactive" or "non-reactive." Perinatal mortality, fetal distress in labour, caesarean section for fetal distress, and the incidence of low Apgar scores were all significantly increased in the non-reactive group.
متن کاملThe 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...
