Proposes a standardized approach to fetal ECG monitoring during labor to resolve discrepancies in signal processing methods.
May standardize fetal ECG monitoring in labor; extends research by enabling consistent signal processing across studies.
Recording the fetal ECG as a means of fetal monitoring during labour has been investigated by many researchers. Different signal processing methods have been used, making comparisons difficult so that agreement on several topics has not been reached. We suggest the basis of a standard method of recording and processing the signal which we believe will be acceptable to the research and clinical communities.
