The longitudinal cardiotocographic (CTG) changes throughout pregnancy in normal fetuses have never been fully described. We aimed at characterizing the evolution of CTG parameters healthy fetuses, from 24 to 41 weeks gestation.A prospective cohort study was conducted singleton without structural abnormalities on second-trimester ultrasound. At least one performed each following intervals: 24-26 weeks(+6d) , 27-29 30-32 33-35 36-38 and ≥39 weeks; tracings were analyzed by OMNIVIEW-SISPORTO...

Abstract Objective: To compare longitudinal trends of cardiotocographic (CTG) parameters between small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and normal fetuses, from 24 to 41 weeks pregnancy. Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out in singleton pregnancies without fetal malformations. At least one CTG performed each the following intervals: 24–26 weeks+6 days, 27–29 30–32 33–35 36–38 days ≥39 weeks. Tracings were analyzed using Omniview-SisPorto ® 3.6 system. Cases with a pregnancy outcome,...
Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to assess how cardiotocographic (CTG) parameters differ between small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) and normal fetuses at different gestational ages. Methods This a retrospective cross‐sectional using the first antepartum tracing singleton pregnancies with no malformations. Fetuses birthweight ≥10th percentile for age other pregnancy outcome criteria (term birth, umbilical artery pH Apgar scores, intensive care unit admission) were compared <10th <3rd...
Fetal heart rate variability (HRV) is widely used for monitoring fetal developmental disturbances. Only expensive magnetocardiography (fMCG) allows the precise recording of individual beat intervals uncovering also highly frequent vagal modulation. In contrast, transabdominal electrocardiography (fECG) suffers from noise overlaying cardiac signal. Cardiotocography (CTG) clinical method choice, however, based on Doppler ultrasound, improper to resolve single beats concisely. The present work...
Objective. To conduct an audit of the Omniview-SisPorto® central monitoring station (CMS) and determine effect measures undertaken to correct identified problems.Methods. All cardiotocograms (CTGs) recorded in randomly selected days 2006 2009, both outpatient clinic labor ward, were reviewed assess following parameters: tracing identification, duration, signal quality, loss, acquisition method, time elapsed between tracing-end birth. A random sample cases was compared with original paper...
Prediction of labor is extreme importance in obstetric care to allow for preventive measures, assuring that both baby and mother have the best possible care. In this work, authors studied how important nonlinear parameters (entropy compression) can be as predictors. Linear features retrieved from SisPorto system cardiotocogram analysis measures were used predict a dataset 1072 antepartum tracings, at between 30 35 weeks gestation. Two groups defined: Group A—fetuses whose traces date was...
Digital storage of cardiotocographic (CTG) tracings by fetal central monitoring systems (fCMS) obviates the need for printing, or alternatively, can be printed in regular paper instead CTG thermal paper. We aimed at evaluating impact introduction Omniview-SisPorto® system on costs a large university hospital. After fCMS, there was an 87% reduction median annual expenses with labour ward (p = 0.011) and 78% decrease prenatal clinic 0.017), despite more than 40% increase number observed women....
Um dos principais fatores da baixa produtividade, assim como o aumento do custo de produção na cultura mandioca está relacionado ao controle inadequado plantas daninhas. O presente estudo buscou analisar diferentes espaçamentos utilizando duas cultivares mesa, Arapiraca e Saracura, no município Itapicuru, Estado Bahia, com objetivo realizar cultural daninhas, bem avaliar a produtividade em ambas as cultivares. A área experimental foi montada seguinte maneira: C 01 (Arapiraca) 02 (Saracura),...
