Establishing Criteria for Automated Evaluation of Non-stress Test in Antepartum Cardiotocography
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main principle of present-day perinatology is to ensure successful childbirth. Antepartum biophysical monitoring is usually performed by means of cardiotocography (CTG). In an attempt to minimize subjectivity and poor reproducibility of visual evaluation of CTG traces, computerized systems for automated analysis of cardiotocographic signals are commonly used. They perform several tasks where the most important are real-time acquisition and analysis of cardiotocografic signals from several fetal monitors. Further extension of computerized cardiotocography is a qualitative analysis of antepartum cardiotocograms which is carried out within non-stress test (NST). The NST idea based on fetal heart rate acceleration associated with fetal movement is a good prognostic sign with high predictive value of fetal well-being. This paper presents the procedure of establishing criteria for automated evaluation of non-stress test in computer-aided cardiotocography.

The importance of antepartum cardiotocography.
The significance of antepartum cardiotocography was examined on patients at the University of Cologne in the years 1982 and 1983. We analyzed 13,310 cardiotocograms of 1,463 women and correlated their pregnancies and deliveries with the status of their newborns. There were only 66 suspect/prepathologic fetal heart rate recordings in 50 patients. All these patients had severe complications durin...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether antepartum factors alone, intrapartum factors alone, or both in combination, are associated with term neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). METHODS A total of 405 infants ≥ 35 weeks' gestation with early encephalopathy, born between 1992 and 2007, were compared with 239 neurologically normal infants born between 1996 and 1997. All cases met criteria fo...

BACKGROUND Acoustic stimulation of the fetus has been suggested to improve the efficiency of antepartum fetal heart rate testing. OBJECTIVES The objective of this review was to assess the merits or adverse effects of the use of fetal vibroacoustic stimulation in conjunction with tests of fetal wellbeing.

Background: The most frequently used test for evaluation of fetal health is the Non Stress Test (NST). Unfortunately it has a high incidence of false positive results. The combination of vibroacoustic stimulation with the NTS has been shown to reduce non reactive results. Methods: A tests assessment method was chosen with a simple randomized sampling. 40 pregnant women with non reactive NST in...
