Fetal Heart Rate Variability Is Affected by Fetal Movements: A Systematic Review
Introduction: Fetal heart rate variability (FHRV) evaluates the fetal neurological state, which is poorly assessed by conventional prenatal surveillance including cardiotocography (CTG).

Monitoring Fetal Heart Rate during Labor: A Comparison of Three Methods
The purpose of the study was to compare the accuracy of a noninvasive fetal heart rate monitor with that of ultrasound, using a fetal scalp electrode as the gold standard, in laboring women of varying body habitus, throughout labor and delivery. Laboring

New estimators and guidelines for better use of fetal heart rate estimators with Doppler ultrasound devices [PDF]
International audienceCharacterizing fetal wellbeing with a Doppler ultrasound device requires computation of a score based on fetal parameters. In order to analyze the parameters derived from the fetal heart rate correctly, an accuracy of 0.25 beats per

A Comprehensive Review of Techniques for Processing and Analyzing Fetal Heart Rate Signals
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-

A dilated inception CNN-LSTM network for fetal heart rate estimation
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 ...

The effects of acupressure, LV3 point on fetal heart rate pattern, during fetal non stress test: A randomized clinical trial [PDF]
Introduction: The fetal heart rate monitoring is actually the first test to evaluate the health of fetus. Mother's mental condition impacts the fetal heart rate pattern. Acupressure acts on the basis of acupuncture points, and according to neuro-hormonal

Doppler Ultrasound Technology for Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring: A Review
Fetal well-being is commonly assessed by monitoring the fetal heart rate (fHR). In clinical practice, the de facto standard technology for fHR monitoring is based on the Doppler ultrasound (US). Continuous monitoring of the fHR before and during labor is

COVID‐19 during pregnancy: non‐reassuring fetal heart rate, placental pathology and coagulopathy
We report a case of a pregnant woman with COVID‐19 who developed coagulopathy in the absence of severe clinical symptoms. A polymerase chain reaction test of a vaginal swab was positive for SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA, suggesting a possibility of perinatal ...

Fetal heart rate tracing interpretation in cases of fetal heart block: A case series
Simple assessment of FHR baseline variability can differentiate second‐degree heart block (SHB) from complete heart block (CHB). In cases of SHB, antepartum NST can be reliably used for fetal surveillance.
