Abstract:
Criteria are described for the automated analysis of fetal pulse intervals, fetal movements and of uterine contractions measured externally, antenatally and interactively on-line, for implementation on a personal computer interfaced to an appropriate fetal monitor, and tested on 10,000 records. Measurements of short and longer term fetal heart rate variation are compared; both are required to identify sinister records. Recall and display of records acquired on the same patient over several weeks has proved a useful diagnostic aid.
