Can a microprocessor-based system reliably record and quantify the fetal ECG T/QRS ratio during term deliveries?
A microprocessor-based fetal ECG system successfully recorded and quantified the T/QRS ratio during labor, establishing baseline values for normal term fetuses to aid in future fetal surveillance.
