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.

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 ...

Monitoring fetal electrocortical activity during labour for predicting worsening acidemia: a prospective study in the ovine fetus near term. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundSevere fetal acidemia during labour with arterial pH below 7.00 is associated with increased risk of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Electronic fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring, the mainstay of intrapartum surveillance, has poor specificity for

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
