The use of mobile monitoring system for foetal cardiotachometry has never been evaluated in the prehospital care. The aim of the survey was to evaluate the faisability of this device. Twenty-five patients were enrolled, mostly within the context of interhospital transfer because of threatening premature delivery (n = 20). Foetal monitoring was effective for 64 % of the patients during initial physical examination and for 52 % during transport by ambulance. Prehospital treatment was improved in one case of eclampsia after on-scene fetal monitoring. Cardiotocography can be easily performed in the prehospital setting.

Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...
