Clinical Trial Summary

The EUM (electrical uterine myography) (OB Tools, Israel) was tested and found to be reliable as a non-invasive method for evaluating uterine contractions and the fetal heart rate. It is safe and effective in monitoring uterine contractions. The investigators propose to perform a study to validate the accuracy and clinical usefulness of the EUM device by simultaneously monitoring obese patients with current method of external tocodynamometry with the EUM device. Providers will be blinded to the results of the EUM device. Caregivers will continue care as per current guidelines using the information obtained from the current monitoring methods. Information obtained from the EUM devices will not be used to determine the clinical course of action.


Clinical Trial Description

Purpose: The investigators propose to perform a study to validate the accuracy and clinical usefulness of the EUM device by comparing it with simultaneous use of current methods (external tocodynamometry) among obese patients. Objective: Compare the interpretability of the contractions recorded using the EUM device vs. those obtained from external tocodynamometer among obese pregnant women. ;
