Home Uterine Activity Monitoring: The Role of Medical Evidence

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2008
The current paradigm in obstetrics has shifted toward evidence-based medicine, and yet in clinical practice physicians continue to use interventions for which there exists no credible evidence. This article examines the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) status of home uterine activity monitoring (HUAM) and the published clinical trials examining ...

A comparison between electrical uterine monitor, tocodynamometer and intra uterine pressure catheter for uterine activity in labor

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2014
We aimed to evaluate the performance of a non-invasive EMG electrical uterine monitor (EUM) versus tocodynamometry (TOCO) by comparing both to internal uterine pressure catheter (IUPC).Prospective observational trial. Uterine activity was recorded continuously and simultaneously, in women during active term labor, with TOCO, EUM and IUPC.

Monitoring uterine activity.

British journal of hospital medicine, 1993
Uterine activity may be monitored by methods ranging from gentle palpation of the uterine fundus to the most sophisticated electronic intrauterine pressure monitoring system. The form of monitoring required depends largely on the clinical situation. The relationship between fetal oxygenation and uterine contractions has ensured the continued place of ...

Monitoring long-term uterine contractions

IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine, 2002
The proposed system for long-term uterine contraction monitoring includes a pressure sensor and a portable monitor. The pressure sensor converts uterine activities into frequency variations from 1 to 2 MHz. The portable monitor is a microcontroller-based embedded system.

A comprehensive system for monitoring the foetal heartrate and uterine contractions

Medical & Biological Engineering, 1973
Intensive labour-room management has created a need for instrumental monitoring of foetal heartrate and uterine contraction. To fulfil this need, a versatile instrument has been designed and built, which provides transvaginal and external abdominal methods of monitoring both variables.

Patient attitude toward home uterine activity monitoring

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1991
Forty private patients using a home uterine activity monitoring system and daily contact with nursing staff (Term Guard monitor and Tokos Perinatal Nursing Service; Tokos Medical Corp., Santa Ana, CA) were surveyed after delivery. Twenty-seven responses (67.5%) were obtained.

Reanalysis of a Muitireported Trial on Home Uterine Activity Monitoring

Birth, 1993
ABSTRACTA randomized multicenter study of home uterine activity monitoring using the “Term Guard,” is widely cited in support of the Term Guard monitoring system. Critical appraisal of the data in the six reports of the study showed that all reports scored poorly on avoidance of allocation, exclusion, and assessment bias.

A portable monitor for fetal heart rate and uterine contraction

IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 1997
The authors describe a low-power lightweight device for long-term ambulatory monitoring of high-risk pregnancies. The portable instrument was developed to monitor fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine contraction (UC) continuously. It can record the abnormal FHR and UC, and it alerts pregnant women when to go to the hospital to see a physician.

Sonographic monitoring to guide the performance of postabortal uterine curettage

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1985
This communication describes a technique of sonographically monitored uterine curettage. This method is of particular value in the management of postabortal endomyometritis associated with retained products of conception or in any situation in which anatomic variation (for instance, retroversion) makes curette insertion difficult.

Method for uterine contraction monitoring with passive RFID tags

2017 IEEE EMBS International Conference on Biomedical & Health Informatics (BHI), 2017
Pregnant women in labor, or at risk of premature delivery, are currently connected to cumbersome electronic uterine contraction monitors to assess their contractions. Existing monitors are not only uncomfortable but also prevent the pregnant woman's mobility.
