โœฆ Synopsis

The use of fetal monitoring during both the antepartum and intrapartum periods has become widespread. While it is generally agreed that fetal heart rate variability is an important indicator of fetal state, attempts to quantitatively evaluate fetal heart variability have been largely unsuccessful. This paper will review the problems of fetal monitoring and the proposed indicators of heart rate variability. It will be shown that through time series analysis we can not only explain the mathematical difficulties in monitoring heart rate variability but also understand the problems of the proposed indicators. Digital filters will be shown to be useful in obtaining true variability from the monitored data and in constructing useful indicators of fetal heart rate variability.

## Abstract Various methods have been proposed for the spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV). Such methods always require constant period data in time series. However, since the __Rโ€R__ interval of HRV is, in general, irregular, somehow the experimental data must be converted to constan

Several investigators have shown that diminished sinus arrhythmia can be seen as an indication of increased mental load. The present experiment deals with the influence of different levels of mental load, operationalized as the number of binary choices per minute, on the regularity of the heart rate

For psychological reasons, coelocentesis was performed in 20 women prior to termination of pregnancy, at 6-11 weeks of gestation. The fetal heart rate (FHR) was measured immediately before the procedure and at 1, 5, and 10 min afterward. There was no significant difference between FHR before coeloce
