Documentation of recent fetal demise with simultaneous maternal and fetal heart rate monitoring.
A case of recent fetal demise with maternal-fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) signal conduction is presented. Diagnosis and graphic documentation of fetal demise were made by comparison of heart tracings obtained from the maternal precordium and from the fetal scalp. Combined monitoring is suggested as a diagnostic procedure and as a method of graphic documentation.
