Systematic Review of Intrapartum Fetal Heart Rate Spectral Analysis and an Appl...
Castro, Luísa; Loureiro, Maria; Henriques, Teresa S.; Nunes, InesIt is fundamental to diagnose fetal acidemia as early as possible, allowing adequate obstetrical interventions to prevent brain damage or perinatal death. The visual analysis of cardiotocography traces has been complemented by computerized methods in order to overcome some of its limitations in the screening of fetal hypoxia/acidemia. Spectral analysis has been proposed by several studies exploring fetal heart ...

Complexity of Cardiotocographic Signals as A Predictor of Labor
Monteiro-Santos, João; Henriques, Teresa; Nunes, Ines; Amorim-Costa, Célia; Bernardes, João; Costa-Santos, CristinaPrediction of labor is of extreme importance in obstetric care to allow for preventive measures, assuring that both baby and mother have the best possible care. In this work, the authors studied how important nonlinear parameters (entropy and compression) can be as labor predictors. Linear features retrieved from the SisPorto system for cardiotocogram analysis and nonlinear measures were used to predict labor i...
