Fetal Patterns
The dynamic fetal ECG patterns listed in Table 1 are
interactive with uterine activities described in Table 2 and
represent a wide range of clinical conditions encountered
during the labor and delivery process. These selections
illustrate the fetal response to the uterine pressure. To
gain a better overview of these clinical conditions, please
refer to your available clinical references, or as a
suggested source, go to the Family Practice Notebook
website:
http://www.fpnotebook.com . This website clearly
explains these clinical terms in Book: Obstetrics, Chapter:
Fetus, Page: Fetus Index.
