Fetal monitoring devices are used to monitor the heart rate and movement of the fetus and maternal contractions. In medical terms, fetal monitoring is imperative to constantly monitor health of the unborn baby and ensure a safe birth. Fetal monitoring measures the heart rate of the baby. Healthcare providers perform fetal monitoring during late pregnancy and labor, as that process is crucial for keeping the mother and the child safe and healthy. These are also used to monitor chronic mental retardation, hypothermia, lung diseases, neonatal diseases, vision & hearing problems, and jaundice.
Fetal monitoring is usually done using handheld doppler device or an electronic fetal monitor. Fetal monitoring is necessary to avoid complications during labor or if patient gets an epidural or if oxytocin is required to induce or augment labor. Moreover there are two ways to perform fetal monitoring namely, external and internal. Fetal monitoring is especially helpful if the patient is expected to have a high-risk pregnancy, especially women suffering from high blood pressure or diabetes.
Furthermore, the devices are used to check if pre-term labor medicines are affecting the baby. Fetal monitoring devices are also used in other tests, which includes contraction stress test, non-stress test and biophysical profile that includes the combination of non-stress test and ultrasound. Uterine contractions or pushing during the second stage of labor also affects heart rate of the fetus and thus, fetal monitoring devices play a vital role through the process..
