Intraoperative Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) Monitoring: a Feasibility Study

Start date: October 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Fetal heart rate [FHR] monitoring is used widely to assess the well-being of the baby in the delivery period. If it is determined that an urgent cesarean delivery is required because of fetal distress, FHR is discontinued once the mother is in the operating room in order to allow for surgical site preparation. From this point, there is no real-time monitoring that permits assessment of the well-being of the infant. The investigators are evaluating the feasibility of intraoperative FHR monitoring using fetal ECG placed on the mother's upper abdominal wall and the standard acoustic device routinely used. The investigators will compare these to the traditional well-being tests: umbilical arterial blood gas and Apgar score. The first 15 subjects will be recruited from pregnant women who have scheduled induction of labor. The subsequent 40 subjects will be recruited from pregnant women who have scheduled cesarean sections.
