Management of patients during labor is often based upon interpretation of electronic fetal heart rate tracings. Misdiagnoses of these records can lead to inappropriate actions, including cesarean delivery for presumed fetal distress. This case study, using a heart rate tracing from a patient with intrauterine fetal death, describes the findings, reviews the origin of the electronic signal, and outlines the means to distinguish the fetal and maternal cardiac impulses.
分娩期间对患者的管理通常基于对电子胎儿心率监测图的解读。这些记录的误诊可能导致不适当的措施，包括因假定的胎儿窘迫而行剖宫产。本病例研究使用一名宫内胎儿死亡患者的心率监测图，描述了相关发现，回顾了电子信号的来源，并概述了区分胎儿和母亲心脏冲动的方法。
