Evaluation of an external fetal electrocardiogram monitoring system: a randomized controlled trial
The objective of the study was to compare interpretability of 2 intrapartum abdominal fetal heart rate–monitoring strategies. We hypothesized that an external fetal electrocardiography monitoring system, a newer technology using wireless abdominal pads, would generate more interpretable fetal heart rate data compared with standard external Doppler fetal heart rate monitoring (standard external…
