OBJECTIVE/AIMS: To investigate the presence of signal ambiguity of intrapartum fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring during delivery by comparing simultaneous cardiotocogram (CTG), abdominal fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) with continuous maternal ECG.
A total of 144 simultaneous CTG (Corometrics 250 series), abdominal fetal ECG (Monica -AN24™) and maternal ECG (Monica AN24™) recordings were evaluated.
When the FHR is within 5 bpm of the maternal heart rate (MHR) acquired from the ECG, it is classified as 'MHR/FHR ambiguity'. Statistical analyses were performed with Fisher's exact test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Comparison of abdominal fetal ECG against CTG demonstrates significantly less 'MHR/FHR ambiguity' in both the first stage (mean 0.70 vs. 1.22%, p < 0.001) and second stage of labour (mean 3.30 vs. 6.20%, p < 0.001).
Intrapartum FHR monitoring in daily practice via the CTG modality provides significantly more 'MHR/FHR ambiguity' than abdominal fetal ECG, which also provides additional information on the MHR.
目的/目标:通过比较同时的胎儿心电图(CTG)、腹部胎儿心电图(Monica-AN24™)和连续的母体心电图,来研究分娩过程中胎儿心率(FHR)监测的信号模糊性的存在。
评估了总共 144 个同时的 CTG(Corometrics 250 系列)、腹部胎儿心电图(Monica-AN24™)和母体心电图(Monica AN24™)记录。
当 FHR 与从 ECG 获得的母体心率(MHR)相差在 5 bpm 以内时,将其归类为“MHR/FHR 模糊”。Fisher 确切检验和 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验用于统计分析。
与 CTG 相比,腹部胎儿心电图显示第一产程(平均 0.70%对 1.22%,p<0.001)和第二产程(平均 3.30%对 6.20%,p<0.001)中“MHR/FHR 模糊”明显较少。
在日常实践中,通过 CTG 模式进行的分娩期间 FHR 监测比腹部胎儿心电图提供了明显更多的“MHR/FHR 模糊”,后者还提供了关于 MHR 的额外信息。
