    A new flexible electrode non-invasively monitors fetal electroencephalogram (FEEG) during labor. This reusable device provides clear signals comparable to post-birth recordings, simplifying fetal monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Fetal electroencephalogram (FEEG) monitoring is crucial for assessing fetal well-being.
    • Current methods for FEEG monitoring can be invasive or prone to artifacts.
    • A need exists for a non-invasive, reliable FEEG monitoring technique in routine obstetrics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate a novel, flexible, active electrode for non-invasive fetal electroencephalogram (FEEG) monitoring.
    • To assess the performance of this new electrode in terms of signal quality and ease of use during routine labor.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a single flexible active electrode for FEEG monitoring.
    • Testing the electrode's performance in 20 normal labor cases.

  • Analysis of signal clarity, artifact contamination, and comparison with fetal electrocardiogram (fECG).

    • Main Results:

    • The flexible electrode successfully monitored FEEG without penetrating or adhering to the fetal scalp.
    • Recordings were largely free from fetal electrocardiogram (fECG) interference and artifacts, requiring minimal filtering.
    • Comparable FEEG traces were obtained from healthy fetuses during labor to those recorded post-delivery.
    • No FEEG signal was detected when the electrode was applied to breech presentations.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed flexible active electrode offers a promising non-invasive method for fetal electroencephalogram (FEEG) monitoring in routine obstetrics.
    • The electrode's reusability and high signal quality reduce the need for invasive procedures and complex signal processing.
    • Further research may be needed to optimize application for breech presentations.
