What does accelerated fetal heart rate monitoring mean?

Fetal heart rate monitoring, that is, fetal heartbeat, fetal movement and uterine contraction chart, is an important test method to accurately assess the condition of the fetus in the uterine cavity. But what does an accelerated fetal heart rate monitor mean? Fetal heart rate monitoring is the general name for fetal heartbeat, fetal movement and uterine contraction chart. It is an important test method to accurately assess the situation of the fetus in the uterine cavity. Fetal heart rate monitoring uses a fetal heart rate electronic electrocardiogram monitor to monitor, which can record the changes in the fetal heart rate in an instant. Based on the signal curve graph of the instantaneous changes in the fetal heartbeat, the doctor can immediately grasp the reaction of the fetal heartbeat when the baby moves and the uterus contracts.

This is used to infer whether the fetus in the uterine cavity is lacking oxygen. Fetal heartbeat refers to the heart rate of the fetus. Generally, the fetal heartbeat can be heard by auscultation in the pregnant mother's abdomen at 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Ways to detect fetal heartbeat at home:

There are currently three types: auscultation, fetal heart rate monitor, and fetal language monitor.

(1) Auscultation is very common and inexpensive, but it is used to locate the fetal heart rate, which requires high technical standards and makes a small sound that is difficult for most people to hear.

(2) Both fetal heart rate monitors and fetal talk monitors use Doppler lung auscultation technology. Fetal heart rate monitors can be used to listen to the fetal heart rate, and some can display the fetal heart rate through LED or LCD screens.

(3) The fetal talker is a smart product that can basically detect the fetal heartbeat at home. It can be used to listen to and record fetal sounds, count heartbeats and fetal movements, draw monitoring curves, and allow doctors to listen to the fetal heart remotely. It needs to be connected to a mobile phone application and is suitable for pregnant women with Apple and Android phones.

What does accelerated fetal heart rate monitoring mean?

There are two lines on the fetal heart rate monitoring chart. The upper one is the basic fetal heart rate line, which is generally manifested as a wavy straight line. When the baby moves, the heartbeat will increase, which is manifested as an upward protruding curve, and will gradually decrease after the baby's fetal movement ends. The lower line represents the intrauterine pressure, which increases only when the uterus contracts and then remains around 2.66 kPa (20 MmHg).

Transient changes in fetal heart rate: Stimulated by fetal movement, uterine contraction, palpation and sound, the fetal heart rate will temporarily accelerate or slow down, and then return to the baseline level. This is called a transient change in the fetal heart rate. It is the key indicator to distinguish the fortune of the fetus.

Fetal heart rate monitoring acceleration: refers to the temporary increase of the fetal heart rate baseline by more than 15 beats/minute during uterine contraction, which lasts for more than 15 seconds and is a good sign for the fetus.
