Detection of preventable fetal distress during labor from scanned cardiotocogram tracings using deep learning [PDF]
, 2021 Despite broad application during labor and delivery, there remains considerable debate about the value of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM). EFM includes the surveillance of the fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns in conjunction with the maternal uterine contractions providing a wealth of data about fetal behavior and the threat of diminished oxygenation ...

Fetal cardiovascular decompensation during labor predicted from the individual heart rate: a prospective study in fetal sheep near term and the impact of low sampling rate [PDF]
Front. Pediatr. 2021, 2019 We present a novel computerized fetal heart rate intrapartum algorithm for early and individualized prediction of fetal cardiovascular decompensation, a key event in the causal chain leading to brain injury. This real-time machine learning algorithm performs well on noisy fetal heart rate data and requires ~2 hours to train on the individual fetal ...
