OBJECTIVE To study the effect of sampling rate on the accuracy of fetal heart rate recording in labour. METHODS Prospective observational study. METHODS The fetal heart rate was obtained from 153 fetuses in labour. The heart rate data was sampled at a rate of 0.5 Hz (every 2 s) and the means and standard deviations of 5-min segments compared against the mean and standard deviation for all beats in the same time interval. RESULTS There was a highly significant correlation between the means (r = 0.994, p < 0.001) and standard deviations (r = 0.957, p < 0.001) of FHR sampled on successive beats compared with 2 s sampling. CONCLUSIONS Two second sampling of the fetal heart rate in labour will allow a highly complex analytical algorithm to process the signal in near real time for objective analysis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007743 Labor, Obstetric The repetitive uterine contraction during childbirth which is associated with the progressive dilation of the uterine cervix (CERVIX UTERI). Successful labor results in the expulsion of the FETUS and PLACENTA. Obstetric labor can be spontaneous or induced (LABOR, INDUCED). Obstetric Labor
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011446 Prospective Studies Observation of a population for a sufficient number of persons over a sufficient number of years to generate incidence or mortality rates subsequent to the selection of the study group. Prospective Study,Studies, Prospective,Study, Prospective
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D005323 Fetal Monitoring Physiologic or biochemical monitoring of the fetus. It is usually done during LABOR, OBSTETRIC and may be performed in conjunction with the monitoring of uterine activity. It may also be performed prenatally as when the mother is undergoing surgery. Monitoring, Fetal,Fetal Monitorings,Monitorings, Fetal
D005333 Fetus The unborn young of a viviparous mammal, in the postembryonic period, after the major structures have been outlined. In humans, the unborn young from the end of the eighth week after CONCEPTION until BIRTH, as distinguished from the earlier EMBRYO, MAMMALIAN.
