Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) greatly expand the use of technology. There is a need
to accurately diagnose discomfort, pain, and complications, such as sepsis, mainly before …

The objective of this article is to understand the complex role of the central autonomic
nervous system in normal and complicated fetal-neonatal transition and how autonomic …

The fetal ECG derived from abdominal leads provides an alternative to standard means of
fetal monitoring. Furthermore, it permits long-term and ambulant recordings, which expands …

Objective. Fetal heart rate (HR) monitoring is routinely used during pregnancy and labor to
assess fetal well-being. The noninvasive fetal electrocardiogram (ECG), obtained by …

Fetal monitoring is important to diagnose complications that can occur during pregnancy. If
detected timely, these complications might be resolved before they lead to irreversible …

Cardiotocography (CTG) is a technique used to monitor intrapartum fetal condition and is
one of the most common obstetric procedures. Second line methods of fetal monitoring have …

Background The fetal heart rate (FHR) is commonly monitored during labor to detect early
fetal acidosis. FHR variability is traditionally investigated using Fourier transform, often with …

Objective Non‐invasive spectral analysis of fetal heart rate variability is a promising new
field of fetal monitoring. To validate this method properly, we studied the relationship …

Objective To assess the association between marked variability in fetal heart rate (FHR) and
neonatal acidosis. Design Bicentric prospective cohort study. Setting From January 2019 to …

Key points Fetal heart rate variability and changes in the ST segment of the
electrocardiogram are used clinically during labour to identify fetuses at risk of severe …
