Abstract:
Cardiotocography (CTG) lacks reliability and reproducibility and these problems are believed to be overcome by computer analysis. In this article we describe a system developed for routine clinical automated CTG analysis based on a low cost personal computer. Presently the system has processed 70 ten minute tracings. Fetal heart rate baseline, acceleration--deceleration detection, and long term variability estimation were performed in a satisfactory way.
