Ex utero neonatal heart rate detection via non-invasive maternal abdominal electrocardiogram monitoring

Objective: A non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor has been approved for clinical usage in labour and delivery. To determine the feasibility of neonatal ECG signal detection via maternal abdominal non-invasive ECG monitor during bonding period. Case report: After birth during the bonding period when the baby is lying on the mother's chest non-invasive maternal abdominal ECG detection via Monica AN24TM is analysed. Results: Continuous fetal heart rate monitoring can be achieved when the baby is lying on the maternal chest via non-invasive maternal abdominal ECG detection. Conclusion: To our knowlegde…
