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 …

In the field of electronic fetal health monitoring, computerized analysis of fetal heart rate
(FHR) signals has emerged as a valid decision-support tool in the assessment of fetal …

BACKGROUND: Fetal behavioral states are important indicators of fetal physiology and
pathology associated to typical fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns. AIM: To provide linear and …

Monitoring procedures are the basis to evaluate the clinical state of patients and to assess
changes in their conditions, thus providing necessary interventions in time. Both these two …

The effect of foetal heart rate (FHR) acquisition mode on linear and nonlinear parameters is
still largely unknown. In 33 normal labouring women, FHR signals were acquired …

Continuous monitoring of the fetal heart rate (FHR) signal has been widely used to allow
obstetricians to obtain detailed physiological information about newborns. However, visual …

Electronic fetal heart rate monitoring (EFM) has not fulfilled its expectations. To improve its
validity various attempts were made to standardize terminology and assessment of fetal …

Cardiotocography (CTG) is a standard tool for the assessment of fetal well-being during
pregnancy and delivery. However, its interpretation is associated with high inter-and intra …

Fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring was introduced over 3 decades ago into clinical use and
patient management. It continues to be the predominant method for intrapartum fetal …

There is currently no standard national approach to the management of category II fetal
heart rate (FHR) patterns, yet such patterns occur in the majority of fetuses in labor. Under …
