Research and Clinical Application of Fetal Heart Rate and Intrauterine Pressure Monitoring Using on Line Computer

Experiments in the Measurement of Intrauterine Pressure

“…SINCE computers were used in the labour room in this department (Crawford, 1972), it has become clear that more attention needed to be given to the quality of the signal obtained both from fetal heart rate (FHR) and intrauterine pressure (IUP) measurements. Experiments were conducted to investigate the behaviour of fluid filled intrauterine catheters inserted into the uterus in labour and connected to external pressure transducers.…”
