Variations on fetal heart rate variability [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2016 Intrapartum electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is widely used throughout the developed and developing world. This practice is based on the understanding that fetal heart rate (FHR) is sensitive to hypoxia. During labour, the fetus may be exposed to acute hypoxia during uterine contractions or intrapartum insults, and has well‐established cardiovascular ...

Aerobic exercise during pregnancy and presence of fetal-maternal heart rate synchronization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 It has been shown that short-term direct interaction between maternal and fetal heart rates may take place and that this interaction is affected by the rate of maternal respiration.

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

Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring from Phonocardiograph Signal Using Repetition Frequency of Heart Sounds
Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2016 As a passive, harmless, and low-cost diagnosis tool, fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring based on fetal phonocardiography (fPCG) signal is alternative to ultrasonographic cardiotocography.

A Comprehensive Review of Techniques for Processing and Analyzing Fetal Heart Rate Signals
Italian National Conference on Sensors, 2021 The availability of standardized guidelines regarding the use of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) in clinical practice has not effectively helped to solve the main drawbacks of fetal heart rate (FHR) surveillance methodology, which still presents inter-

Unsupervised Learning-Based Non-Invasive Fetal ECG Muti-Level Signal Quality Assessment
Bioengineering, 2023 Objective: To monitor fetal health and growth, fetal heart rate is a critical indicator. The non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram is a widely employed measurement for fetal heart rate estimation, which is extracted from the electrodes placed on the ...

A dilated inception CNN-LSTM network for fetal heart rate estimation
Physiological Measurement, 2021 Objective. Fetal heart rate (HR) monitoring is routinely used during pregnancy and labor to assess fetal well-being. The noninvasive fetal electrocardiogram (ECG), obtained by electrodes on the maternal abdomen, is a promising alternative to standard ...
