Configuration of the fetal electrocardiogram in ambulatory women in labor monitored with wideband telemetry

M B Sampson et al. J Reprod Med. 1985 Nov.

Abstract

The fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) in 23 ambulatory women in labor was monitored successfully with a single-channel FM telemetry unit with a 0.5-100-Hz wideband receiver to improve the quality of the ECG complex. An inverted QRS complex was seen in a patient with a deceleration and an inverted T wave during a deceleration in a patient confined to bed. A maternal artifact was transmitted in a third. The ECG complex was identical when wired patients were switched to telemetry. Thus, fetal heart rate and ECG configuration can be monitored accurately in ambulatory pregnant women.
