Fetal Monitors
Fetal monitors are specialized devices used during pregnancy and labor to assess the health and well-being of an unborn baby. They typically track two primary parameters: the fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine contractions. By continuously monitoring these vital signs, healthcare providers can detect potential signs of fetal distress, such as abnormal heart rate patterns or insufficient contractions, allowing for timely intervention. Fetal monitoring is a crucial aspect of obstetric care, contributing significantly to safer deliveries and ensuring the optimal health of both mother and baby.

Fetal monitors are specialized medical devices used to assess the well-being of an unborn baby by tracking its heart rate and the mother's uterine contractions. There are two main types: external monitors, which use transducers placed on the mother's abdomen to detect sounds and pressure changes, and internal monitors, which involve attaching an electrode directly to the baby's scalp (after the amniotic sac has ruptured). Fetal monitoring is a crucial part of prenatal care, especially during labor and delivery, as it helps identify potential distress, such as a lack of oxygen, by observing changes in the fetal heart rate pattern in relation to contractions. This continuous surveillance allows medical staff to intervene promptly if the baby shows signs of distress, ensuring safer outcomes for both mother and child during the critical stages of pregnancy and birth.
