apparatus and method for identifying the level of fetal risk during labor, and method for determining the current level of risk for a fetus during labor and for displaying related information and facilitating identification of the level of fetal risk during labor. labor.
apparatus for identifying the level of fetal risk during labor, the apparatus comprising: at least one operating computer for receiving input signals indicating at least fetal heart rate (fcf) and maternal uterine activity in one patient, the operating computer ( (i) to determine fcf basal variability, fcf accelerations and fcf decelerations, and (ii) to determine when each of at least (a) fcf, (b) fcf basal variability, (c) accelerations (d) decelerations of fcf (e) maternal uterine activity exhibits at least one non-tranquilizing characteristic among a plurality of predefined non-tranquilizing characteristics for at least parameters (a) to (e). the computer is still operative to (iii) receive user input indicating the patient's presence of one or more (f) maternal risk factors, (g) obstetric risk factors, and (h) fetal risk factors that raise the level of fetal risk during labor, and (iv) determine at a given moment of labor a current level of risk to the fetus that takes into account only: the total number of parameters (a) to (e) that each At the same time, it independently exhibits at least one of the non-soothing characteristics at a given time during labor, and the total number of parameters (f) to (h) that are present. One output describes in a single graphical user interface one or more of parameters (a) to (h) over time during labor, and the appearance of which single graphical user interface includes clues to indicate the current level of labor. risk to the fetus at any time during labor and signal the need for possible intervention in labor.aparelho para identificar o nível de risco fetal durante o trabalho de parto, o aparelho compreendendo: pelo menos um computador operativo para receber sinais de entrada indicativos de pelo menos frequência cardíaca fetal (fcf) e atividade uterina materna em uma paciente, o computador operativo (i) para determinar a variabilidade basal da fcf, as acelerações da fcf e as desacelerações da fcf e (ii) para determinar qua
