An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart. The heart

produces tiny electrical impulses which spread through the heart muscle to make the

heart contract. These impulses can be detected by the ECG machine. Electronic fetal

ECG monitoring is a technique of obtaining important information about the condition of

the fetus during pregnancy, by measuring the electrical signals generated by the fetal

heart as measured multi-channel electrodes placed on the mother’s body surface.

Fetal ECG (FECG) monitoring enables accurate measurement of fetal cardiac

performance including transient or permanent abnormalities of rhythm. During labor and

delivery, the heartbeat of the baby is monitored in order to make sure that enough blood

flow and oxygen are getting through to the unborn fetus.
