Abstract
Summary. Large variations in the pattern of normal fetal heart‐rate traces near term are described. The presence of flat or bimodal frequency distributions of pulse intervals in these traces complicates the derivation of a baseline by statistical methods. A system is described for deriving an appropriate baseline from which accelerations or decelerations may be measured.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
