2. Doppler fetal monitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_fetal_monitor

   A Doppler fetal monitor, informally known as sonicaid (generic trademark), is a hand-held ultrasound transducer used to detect the fetal heartbeat for prenatal care. It uses the Doppler effect to provide an audible simulation of the heart beat.

3. Cardiotocography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiotocography

   The fetal heart rate and the activity of the uterine muscle are detected by two transducers placed on the mother's abdomen, with one above the fetal heart to monitor heart rate, and the other at the fundus of the uterus to measure frequency of contractions.

4. Nonstress test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonstress_test

   A normal nonstress test will show a baseline fetal heart rate between 110 and 160 beats per minute with moderate variability (5- to 25-interbeat variability) and 2 qualifying accelerations in 20 minutes with no decelerations. "Reactive" is defined as the presence of two or more fetal heart rate accelerations within a 20-minute period. Each ...

5. Sonicaid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonicaid

   Sonicaid developed a range of fetal monitors, notably the portable Doppler ultrasound products D102, D104 ("Pocket Sonicaid", winner of a Design Council Award for medical equipment in 1976 [2]), D205 [3] [4] and D206 which provided audible output of fetal heart sounds. The original design was due to Frederick (Doug) Fielder who was Sonicaid's ...

6. Contraction stress test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraction_stress_test

   During uterine contractions, fetal oxygenation is worsened. Late decelerations in fetal heart rate occurring during uterine contractions are associated with increased fetal death rate, growth retardation and neonatal depression. [1] [2] This test assesses fetal heart rate in response to uterine contractions via electronic fetal monitoring.

7. Doppler ultrasonography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_ultrasonography

   Doppler fetal monitors, although usually not technically -graphy but rather sound-generating, use the Doppler effect to detect the fetal heartbeat for prenatal care. These are hand-held, and some models also display the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). Use of this monitor is sometimes known as Doppler auscultation.
