Intrapartum ST segment analyses (STAN) using simultaneous invasive and non-invasive fetal electrocardiography

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyse ST segment analyses (STAN) using simultaneous traditional – gold standard invasive (fetal scalp electrode) and newly available non-invasive abdominal fetal electrocardiography (fECG) during delivery. Study Design: This was a prospective observational study of non-invasive fetal ECG using 5 abdominally sited electrodes (Monica AN24TM) against the traditional fetal scalp electrodes (STAN S31TM) on 6 patients. Data were analyzed when the STAN S31TM found the baseline and when there was a baseline rise. Results: Successful fECG signal acquisition was achieved in…
