ABSTRACT
Fetal monitoring is used to assess the fetal well-being in the uterus, including that during labor. So far the main interest has been in fetal heart rate recording, although recently interest has also risen in the clinical use of the fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform. The fetal electrocardiogram provides useful information about the fetus’s condition. For example [2, 30, 31, 29, 25]: • The analysis of fetal ST-segments and T waves is one important
diagnostic method for detection and diagnosis of fetal hypoxia (a continued lack of oxygen).
