Computerized analysis of fetal heart rate variability using the matching pursuit technique as an indicator of fetal hypoxia during labor.
To determine whether the computerized analysis of fetal heart rate variability with the new matching pursuit technique can indicate fetal distress during labor. ⋯ Fetal hypoxia during labor can be recognized using the MP technique for the analysis of FHR signal power in the VLF and LLF frequency ranges. Since the analysis is feasible in real-time, it can be a useful tool for the intrapartum evaluation of fetal well-being.
