Monitoring Ambulant FHR Using DECG
30 Chapter 4 - Monitoring
1. Ensure that the ultrasound transducer stays in position after the
patient has moved and that you have not lost the FHR signal as the
fetal position may change.
2. If the FHR signal is lost or unclear (yellow or red on the signal
quality indicator panel on the monitor), reposition the transducer
while the patient is standing and if necessary tighten the belt to
stop the transducer slipping.
Obtain the best possible signal before allowing the patient to ambulate. A
trace is produced when the signal quality indicator is yellow, but for the
best possible trace it should be green continuously. A clear sound coming
from the monitor indicates that you have the best position for the
transducer.
