Effect of vibratory acoustic stimulation on the duration of fetal heart rate monitoring tests

J P Newnham et al. Am J Perinatol. 1990 Jul.

Abstract

The ability of vibratory acoustic stimulation to shorten the duration of antepartum fetal heart rate monitoring was investigated by a randomized controlled trial. Vibratory acoustic stimulation did not shorten the overall duration of testing. This failure to improve the performance of antepartum monitoring appeared to result from prolonged accelerations, which complicated one third of the tests in which vibratory acoustic stimulation was employed. Further investigation is warranted using less profound methods of fetal stimulation.
