Signal ambiguity resulting in unexpected outcome with external fetal heart rate monitoring
Am J Obstet Gynecol.
2008 Jun.
Abstract
We report cases of unexpected adverse fetal outcome from monitored labors in which the fetal heart rate tracing was interpreted as reassuring. In these cases, portions from another signal source, usually maternal, were imperceptibly substituted into the fetal tracing in a way that masked the evidence of fetal compromise.
