Microfilm storage of fetal monitoring records: a practical solution

Microfilming of fetal monitoring records has, at our institution, been found to be a practical method for storage of recording papers from fetal monitoring. This system permits a reduction of the records by a factor of 20:1 and up to 7.64 hours of fetal monitroing records will fit into a 4 x 6 inch film jacket. This microfilm record can easily be placed into a patient's chart and can thus easily be retrieved.
