An Enhanced Signal Processing Strategy for Fetal Heart Rate Detection [PDF]
The goal of the research was to improve the signal processing strategy for an acoustic fetal heart rate monitor. The theory, implementation, and testing of several possible signal processing strategies for fetal heart rate detection are presented.

The influence of betamethasone on fetal heart rate variability, obtained by non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram recordings [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Betamethasone is widely used to enhance fetal lung maturation in case of threatened preterm labour. Fetal heart rate variability is one of the most important parameters to assess in fetal monitoring, since it is a reliable indicator for fetal

The relationship between fetal distress and umbilical venous troponin T during labor [PDF]
Introduction: For many years, electrocardiogram have been used to diagnose fetal distress around childbirth. If the heart cells are damaged, troponin T is released. Few studies have been performed about the relationship between abnormality of fetal heart

Transcutaneous Discrimination of Fetal Heart Rate from Maternal Heart Rate: A Fetal Oximetry Proof-of-Concept [PDF]
Intrapartum care uses electronic fetal heart rate monitoring (EFHRM) for over 50 years to indirectly assess fetal oxygenation. However, this approach has been associated with an increase in cesarean delivery rates and limited improvements in ...

Normalized spectral power of fetal heart rate variability is associated with fetal scalp blood pH [PDF]
Background Spectral power of fetal heart rate variability is related to fetal condition. Previous studies found an increased normalized low frequency power in case of severe fetal acidosis.

Current methods of non-invasive fetal heart rate surveillance
Introduction: As accurate fetal evaluation during labor is essential, there is a continuous need for better noninvasive ways of monitoring. Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is an essential tool towards effective fetal assessment during labor, with the ...

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

Fetal bradycardia associated with left ventricle noncompaction diagnosed as HCN4 mutations
A 35-year-old pregnant woman was referred to our hospital because of fetal bradycardia. Fetal echocardiography revealed a normal fetal heart except for slightly prominent trabeculae in the left ventricle, normal cardiac function, and fetal sinus ...
