Electronic fetal heart rate monitoring has become a routine examination to assess fetal well-being. This report presents an unusual case in which maternal heart rate tachycardia was obtained from a dead fetus and was interpreted erroneously. The dead fetus conducted maternal ECG even through a scalp electrode by amplifying the input signal through the Automatic Control system of the monitoring equipment. The importance of concomitant maternal radial pulse recording or a real time scan is stressed.
电子胎心监护已成为评估胎儿健康状况的常规检查。本报告介绍了一例罕见病例，即从死胎中获取了母体心动过速心率并被错误解读。即使通过头皮电极，死胎也能通过监测设备的自动控制系统放大输入信号来传导母体心电图。强调了同时记录母体桡动脉脉搏或进行实时扫描的重要性。
