Electronic fetal monitoring
What is Electronic fetal monitoring?
Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is a method for examining the condition of a baby in the uterus by noting any unusual changes in its heart rate
When was electronic fetal monitoring introduced?
The 1960s and 1970s
What are the 2 methods of fetal monitoring counting?
The two methods of fetal monitoring counting are electronic fetal monitoring (EFM), which uses ultrasound to track the baby's heart rate, and counting fetal movements, which involves the mother keeping track of the baby's movements to ensure they are active and healthy.

How can oxygen deprivation of fetuses be determined?
Oxygen deprivation in fetuses can be determined by monitoring the fetal heart rate patterns using electronic fetal monitoring. This can be done during labor and delivery to assess the oxygen supply to the fetus. Other signs such as decreased fetal activity or low oxygen levels in the mother's blood may also indicate oxygen deprivation in the fetus.
What is fetal monitoring?
Fetal monitoring is a process in which the baby's heart rate is monitored for indicators of stress during labor and birth.
What is the purpose of using a fetal monitors?
Fetal monitoring is used to check your baby's heart rate while pregnant. During contractions, fetal monitoring is used to see how the baby tolerates and responds to contractions.
What test uses a combination of fetal monitoring maternal reports of fetal movement and the fetal heart rate to determine the health of the baby in utero?
ultasound
What is another type of technology that is used during fetal monitoring?
Ultrasound?

How is prematurity or premature birth diagnosed?
Prematurity is diagnosed by determining the gestational age of the baby using ultrasound imaging, calculating from a date of conception, using the Dubowitz exam, electronic fetal monitoring, blood samples.
