Resumo

The most commonly used parameter in classical obstetrical monitoring remains the external tocography. This paper is intended to point out the, possibility of using the uterine Electromyogram as an indicator of contraction efficiency for parturition monitoring. The uterine electrical activity is recorded by means of abdominal electrodes and analyzed in order to obtain significant information related to contraction efficiency during labour. A monitoring device allows the real-time computation of an efficiency criterion suitable for obstetrical monitoring purposes. Several clinical situations are analysed in order to prove the criterion accuracy.

Abstract

The most commonly used parameter in classical obstetrical monitoring remains the external tocography. This paper is intended to point out the, possibility of using the uterine Electromyogram as an indicator of contraction efficiency for parturition monitoring. The uterine electrical activity is recorded by means of abdominal electrodes and analyzed in order to obtain significant information related to contraction efficiency during labour. A monitoring device allows the real-time computation of an efficiency criterion suitable for obstetrical monitoring purposes. Several clinical situations are analysed in order to prove the criterion accuracy.
