Fetal short time variation during labor: a non-invasive alternative to fetal scalp pH measurements?
OBJECTIVE To determine whether short time variation (STV) of fetal heart beat correlates with scalp pH measurements during labor. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1279 deliveries, 197 women had at least one fetal scalp pH measurement. Using the CTG-Player, STVs were calculated from the electronically saved cardiotocography (CTG) traces and related to the fetal scalp pH measurements. RESULTS There ...
متن کاملContinuous transcutaneous carbon dioxide measurement from the fetal scalp during labor and during first minutes of extrauterine life.
An electrode for continuous transcutaneous carbon dioxide (tcPco2) monitoring was attached to the fetal scalp in 25 consecutive vaginal deliveries. In six patients the electrode fell off or was deliberately removed when the fetal head was on the pelvic floor, while eight patients were delivered with the electrode in situ, making it possible to study changes in the fetal carbon dioxide level whe...
متن کاملA non-invasive methodology for fetal monitoring during pregnancy.
OBJECTIVES This paper describes a methodology for the monitoring of the fetal cardiac health status during pregnancy, through the effective and non-invasive monitoring of the abdominal ECG signals (abdECG) of the mother. METHODS For this purpose, a three-stage methodology has been developed. In the first stage, the fetal heart rate (fHR) is extracted from the abdECG signals, using nonlinear a...
متن کاملNon-invasive fetal ECG analysis.
Despite the important advances achieved in the field of adult electrocardiography signal processing, the analysis of the non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram (NI-FECG) remains a challenge. Currently no gold standard database exists which provides labelled FECG QRS complexes (and other morphological parameters), and publications rely either on proprietary databases or a very limited set of data ...
متن کاملContinuous Electronic Fetal Monitoring during Labor: A Critique and a Reply to Contemporary Proponents
A half century after continuous electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) became the omnipresent standard of care for the vast majority of labors in the developed countries, and the cornerstone for cerebral palsy litigation, EFM advocates still do not have any scientific evidence justifying EFM use in most labors or courtrooms. Yet, these EFM proponents continue rationalizing the procedure with a rheto...
