Non-invasive transabdominal uterine electromyography correlates with the strength of intrauterine pressure and is predictive of labor and delivery

Abstract: EMG measurements correlated strongly with the strength of contractions and therefore may be a valuable alternative to invasive measurement of intrauterine pressure. Unlike TOCO, transabdominal uterine EMG can be used reliably to predict labor and delivery.

“…When the average PS peak frequency, the standard deviation of the burst duration, and the ratio of these two were used as input parameters for the ANN, the training set was classified correctly for 30/38 (79%) of the TL patients, 5/6 (83%) of the PTL patients, 25 (Fig. 4).…”

“…Standard TOCO external mechanical force readings were also recorded simultaneously by a transducer belt around the patients' abdomens, but only to assist with additional confirmation of the presence of uterine contraction events. Since previous work with the crude TOCO instrument has indicated limited, if any, predictive utility, 25 no numerical data were utilized from that instrument for this study.…”

“…The choice of multiple band-pass filters also enabled us to test whether the results yielded by the tested methods depend on the choice of the filtering bandwidth. 20 25 Fig. 2 The times of delivery in relation to the times of recording for the 300 EHG records.…”

“…A band-pass filter is needed. Various frequency bands, such as 0.08-4 Hz (using a Butterworth digital filter) [25], 0.05-4 Hz [16], 0.2-4 Hz [20], and filtering methods including wavelets [3] were used. It was recognized that the uterine EMG content ranges from 0 to\5 Hz [4].…”
