10 Monitoring FHR and FMP Using Ultrasound
101
FMP Statistics
FMP statistics are printed every ten minutes.
The FMP statistics are presented as two percentage figures:
•
The first figure shows the percentage of detected fetal movements in the previous ten minutes (see
B above).
• The second figure shows the percentage of detected fetal movements since the start of recording
(see
C above).
To mark the start of the FMP statistic, FMP is printed on the paper.
The FMP detection activates after about half a minute of steady heart rate signals (signal indicator half-
full, or full) to minimize transducer positioning artifact. You will notice this deliberate delay:
•
When a new patient is admitted. A patient discharge restarts the FMP statistics from zero.
• When you connect an ultrasound transducer.
