Abstract:
Cardiotocography plays an important role in the assessment of the fetal condition. Phonocardiography, abdominal electrocardiography and ultrasound cardiography are the three methods for external fetal cardiography. The authors summarize their observations in the analysis of 980 antepartum cardiotocograms made by a phonocardiograph. They conclude, that this phonocardiograph is cheap, reliable, handling can easily attach, and makes possible twenty-four hours home-monitoring.
