  • Title: Feto-maternal surveillance in labour: a new approach with an on-line microcomputer.
    Author: Tromans PM, Sheen MA, Beazley JM.
    Journal: Br J Obstet Gynaecol; 1982 Dec; 89(12):1021-30. PubMed ID: 7171512.
    Abstract:
    A new method of real-time computer surveillance during labour is described with a commercially available "low-cost' microcomputer and integral video display unit (VDU). The fetal monitoring program gives accurate and reliable information on eight parameters of fetal and maternal wellbeing, four of which may be displayed simultaneously, with the facility of instant data recall. Emphasis is on simplicity of operation, and clarity of data display in the form of horizontal bar graphs updated at 5-min intervals, with most recent information in numerical form. Flexibility of the system enables program modification with relative ease, and adaptation to two unmodified commercial electronic fetal monitors.
