May enable non-invasive antenatal FECG monitoring; leaves open validation and outcome trials before clinical adoption.
Can fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) be successfully extracted and processed using surface electrodes on the maternal abdomen during the antenatal period?
Antenatal abdominal FECG monitoring is feasible, successfully extracting signals in about 75% of cases, paving the way for non-invasive fetal cardiac assessment.
Crowe et al. (1996) studied this question.
