What do you know about fetal heart monitoring?
Fetal heart rate monitoring, short for fetal heart rate and contraction pressure, is a graphical recording of the fetal heart rate curve and contraction pressure waveform for clinical analysis using an electronic fetal heart rate monitor and is the main test to correctly assess the condition of the fetus in the womb.
Fetal heart rate monitoring plays an important role in the early detection and timely management of fetal heart rate abnormalities and in reducing perinatal mortality. It plays a major role in the detection of fetal heart abnormalities.
The role of fetal heart monitoring in detecting fetal heart abnormalities
Abnormal fetal heart patterns are often used to indicate abnormal fetal heartbeats when they are detected during fetal heart care. The more severe the abnormality, the greater the degree of fetal hypoxia.
However, not all fetal heart rate abnormalities are due to lack of oxygen. In addition to the above, the condition of the pregnant woman also affects the fetal heart rate, for example, if she has a fever, her fetal heart rate may exceed 160 beats/min.
A slow fetal heart rate can be caused by a lack of oxygen to the fetus, but sometimes a pregnant woman takes certain medications that act on the fetus through the placenta and cause a slowed fetal heart rate. When there is a persistent slow fetal heart rate, it is important to check for the possibility of congenital heart disease in the fetus.
In addition, after 40 weeks of gestation, the fetal heart rate can sometimes fall below 120 beats per minute due to problems with the development of the fetal nervous system.
Therefore, when there is an abnormal fetal heartbeat, the situation should be carefully analysed and correct judgement and treatment should be made, and if there is indeed fetal hypoxia, early delivery should be carried out.
