Monitoring fetal heart rate (FHR) variability plays a fundamental role in fetal state assessment. Reliable FHR signal can be obtained from an invasive direct fetal electrocardiogram (FECG), but this ...

A recent study found that fetal electrocardiogram ST segment analysis, or STAN, which is largely used in Europe to measure fetal heart activity, does not improve outcomes during labor and delivery or ...

Previous literature has highlighted the importance of maternal behavior during the prenatal period for the upbringing of healthy adults. During pregnancy, fetal health assessments are mainly carried ...

The primary aim of the ELAINE project is to assess the effectiveness of using active dry electrodes for fetal ECG (fECG) monitoring. The project intends to replace the traditional method of monitoring ...

Now that electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors have become comfortably wearable for adults, enabling more frequent heart monitoring than was possible outside of medical settings, researchers are preparing ...

The DRE Plus Express features four options for color. Details such as baseline, acceleration, deceleration, long-term variability, short-term variability of FHR can be shown vividly on any background.

ECG and EKG are different abbreviations for the same test, called an electrocardiogram. This test measures how electricity is functioning in a person’s heart. People may also refer to it as an ...
