Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring: Ultrasound (External Method)
Ultrasound (External Method)
NOTE:
Refer to the “Maternal/Fetal Monitoring, Clinical Applications Manual”
for patient application information.
Methodology
An ultrasound (
US
/US2) transducer placed on the maternal abdomen is used to
direct an ultrasonic beam toward the fetal heart; the transducer detects Doppler
shifted frequency changes in echoes created by moving cardiac structures. An
autocorrelation process is used to determine the time interval between successive
cardiac cycles.
The fetal heart rate is displayed in bpm and is continuously plotted on the strip chart
paper if the recorder is on. (Refer to the “US/US2 Setup Screen” figure below.) The
heartbeat indicator flashes for each detected heartbeat.
