Monitoring Equipment
Cardiotocographer
An electronic device that continuously monitors and records fetal heart rate and maternal uterine contractions to support assessment of fetal status in utero.
Core Function Highlights
- Dual Monitoring of Fetal Heart Rate and ContractionsAn ultrasound transducer monitors fetal heart rate while a pressure transducer records uterine-contraction waveforms. Together they produce a cardiotocography (CTG) trace for fetal assessment.
- Continuous Monitoring and RecordingThe device can record fetal-heart-rate curves continuously over an extended period, capturing changes that intermittent auscultation may miss. Results can be printed or displayed on screen in real time.
- Clinical Assessment and Remote-Monitoring SupportClinicians evaluate baseline rate, variability, accelerations, and decelerations to assess fetal status. Some devices support wireless telemetry so monitoring can continue while the patient moves.
