Abstract
Advances in technology over the past 30 years enable us to assess fetal health using safe and non-invasive ultrasound techniques. One such technique is fetal heart rate monitoring, and in pregnancies where there is fetal compromise the fetal heart rate contains crucial information with regard to the optimum timing of delivery. The features of the fetal heart rate are well understood, but numerous studies have shown that expert assessment of traces is prone to inconsistency. In addition, when junior or inexperienced staff review traces important features may not be noticed, with the danger that critical decisions are delayed. Computer analysis of the fetal heart rate using Sonicaid FetalCare or the care analysis built into Sonicaid fetal monitors is therefore a welcome and much-needed way of standardizing interpretation to the highest standards. Such analysis captures an enormous amount of clinical experience and in effect brings it to the bedside.
