Perceptions and experiences of skilled birth attendants on using a newly developed strap-on electronic fetal heart rate monitor in Tanzania

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2019
Background Regular fetal heart rate monitoring during labor can drastically reduce fresh stillbirths and neonatal mortality through early detection and management of fetal distress. Fetal monitoring in low-resource settings is often inadequate.

Prediction of Fetal Blood Pressure during Labour with Deep Learning Techniques

Bioengineering, 2023
Our objective is to develop a model for the prediction of minimum fetal blood pressure (FBP) during fetal heart rate (FHR) decelerations. Experimental data from umbilical occlusions in near-term fetal sheep (2698 occlusions from 57 near-term lambs) were ...

Machine Learning Algorithms Combining Slope Deceleration and Fetal Heart Rate Features to Predict Acidemia

Applied Sciences, 2023
Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is widely used in intrapartum care as the standard method for monitoring fetal well-being. Our objective was to employ machine learning algorithms to predict acidemia by analyzing specific features extracted from the ...

Category II non-reassuring fetal heart rate pattern and risk of admission to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Journal of Pediatric and Neonatal Individualized Medicine, 2021
Background: The relationship between non-reassuring fetal heart rate (FHR) pattern, acidemia at birth and neonatal morbidity remains unclear. Our aim was to compare low versus high pH cord blood infants of women detected with a Category II FHR pattern ...

Intermittent versus continuous electronic monitoring in labour: a randomised study

, 1994
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy in detecting signs of fetal hypoxia in labour of intermittent (I-group) versus continuous (C-group) electronic fetal monitoring in women with low or moderate risk factors for fetal distress.

Monitoring Fetal Electroencephalogram Intrapartum: A Systematic Literature Review

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020
Background: Studies about the feasibility of monitoring fetal electroencephalogram (fEEG) during labor began in the early 1940s. By the 1970s, clear diagnostic and prognostic benefits from intrapartum fEEG monitoring were reported, but until today, this ...

When intra-partum electronic fetal monitoring becomes court business [PDF]

, 2015
Sadly but inevitably, the clinical fruit of all scientific research, like the profile of the Roman god Janus, presents us with two faces - one is patient benefit while the other is medico-legal vulnerability.

Validation of beat by beat fetal heart signals acquired from four-channel fetal phonocardiogram with fetal electrocardiogram in healthy late pregnancy [PDF]

, 2018
Fetal heart rate monitoring is an essential obstetric procedure, however, false-positive results cause unnecessary obstetric interventions and healthcare cost.

Printed Integrated Logic Circuits Based on Chitosan‐Gated Organic Transistors for Future Edible Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...

Are Routine Interventions Necessary in Normal Birth?

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2006
Routine interventions during labor and birth, such as perineal shaving and enemas before vaginal delivery, continuous intrapartum electronic fetal monitoring (EFM), and episiotomy are prevalent in Taiwan, but they may not always be necessary.
