    Intrapartum fetal monitors help clinicians determine the well-being of the fetus during labor. However, with at least two heart rates involved (the mother's and the fetus's), the possibility exists that the measurements will be misrepresented. We evaluate two intrapartum monitors, basing our ratings primarily on their capability to alert the user to possible misrepresentation of fetal heart rates.

    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...
    Fetal Circulation01:14

    Fetal Circulation

    Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
    Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

    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...
