Computer analysis of the antepartum fetal heart rate patterns in the intrauterine growth-retarded human fetus using Sonicaid System 8000.
A total of 28 pregnant women with growth-retarded fetuses were studied to examine the antepartum fetal heart rate patterns between 30 and 39 weeks of gestation. Sonicaid Computer System 8000 was used to analyze on line 200 cardiotocograms. We found that there is an increase in the number of accelerations, an increase in variation assessed in beats per minute and in milliseconds, an increase in duration of high episode and a decrease in the number of decelerations.
