Antepartum fetal heart rate testing, including the nonstress test, has evolved and reduced fetal loss. Recent advancements focus on computer-enhanced methods to further improve test efficacy in high-risk pregnancies.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Fetal Monitoring

Background:

  • Antepartum fetal heart rate (FHR) testing has been used for decades.
  • The nonstress test is a standard of care for high-risk pregnancies.
  • Modifications include vibroacoustic stimulation and actocardiotocography.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution of antepartum FHR testing.
  • To highlight advancements in FHR testing methodologies.
  • To discuss the impact of computer-enhanced approaches on test efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical usage and modifications of FHR tests over 30 years.
  • Inclusion of fetal stimulation and automated fetal movement recording.
  • Exploration of computer-enhanced approaches for improved efficacy.
