Study of signal loss in fetal heart monitoring during labor
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at why signal loss happens during external fetal heart monitoring in labor. The goal is to improve monitoring for future pregnancies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older
- You gave birth at a hospital between February 1 and February 28, 2024
- You had external fetal heart monitoring (cardiotocography) during labor
- Your pregnancy lasted more than 36 weeks

This study checks how well a baby's heart works during labor and right after birth. It uses a special monitor (CTG with STAN) to see if the baby's heart responds normally to the stress of labor.
This study checks unborn babies’ heart signals using special scans during pregnancy and then checks the baby’s heart shortly after birth. It may help researchers understand why certain high-risk pregnancies can lead to fetal demise and improve care.
This study compares using a shorter 10-minute fetal heart rate monitoring period instead of the standard 30-minute monitoring during labor, aiming to help in busy hospitals with limited resources. If you are a low-risk mom in early labor, this could mean less time hooked up to monitors while still checking your baby's heart rate.
This study tests if women with high-risk pregnancies can safely use a remote monitor at home instead of staying in the hospital. You would use a belly patch to send your baby's heart rate and your contractions to your care team.
This study tests a new method to separate a pregnant person's heart signal from their baby's heart signal during electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings. This technology could help doctors monitor both mother and baby's heart health more accurately during pregnancy.
This study tests whether a special monitor worn during labor can help doctors watch the unborn baby's nervous system and reduce health problems after birth. It may help identify babies at risk earlier and improve care.
