Abstract:
Analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) from abdominal recordings may be used as a noninvasive technique to assess fetal well being. Consequently, interest has arisen in the development of a real-time fetal ECG monitoring system. In this paper, we present a Windows user interface developed for our antenatal FECG analysis system. The program (FECGV1), written in C++, consists of three principal modules: System Setup, Real-Time FECG Analysis, and Result Review. By adopting the Windows' graphical user interface and object-oriented programming methodology, the system software accomplished the goals of visualization, easy use, extensibility, and user adaptability. Preliminary clinical application has shown that this approach provides a strong basis for a solution to real-time antenatal FECG analysis.
