A prenatal heart rate monitor, also known as a fetal heart rate monitor, is a medical device used to measure the heart rate and rhythm of a fetus during pregnancy. It is an essential tool for healthcare providers to assess the well-being of the fetus and detect any potential issues.
Country Of Origin : India
External Monitors: These monitors use a Doppler ultrasound device to detect the fetal heartbeat through the mother's abdomen. They are commonly used during prenatal check-ups and labor. [1]
Internal Monitors: These monitors use a thin wire electrode placed on the fetus's scalp to measure the heart rate. They are typically used during labor when the cervix is dilated and the amniotic sac has ruptured. [3]
Key Features:
Heart Rate Measurement: Prenatal heart rate monitors measure the heart rate of the fetus in beats per minute (bpm).
Heart Rate Variability: Some monitors can detect changes in the heart rate variability, which can indicate fetal distress.
Accelerations and Decelerations: Monitors can detect accelerations (increases) and decelerations (decreases) in the fetal heart rate, which can indicate fetal well-being.
