14 December 2011

Low risk women with singleton term pregnancy undergoing labour induction with retrievable, slow-release
dinoprostone pessaries (n = 70) were allowed home for up to 24 hours, while a-fECG and uterine activity were monitored in hospital via wireless technology.

89% of women had successful home monitoring.

The authors from Liverpool Women Hospital concluded "Continuous telemetric trans-abdominal fetal ECG monitoring of ambulatory women undergoing labour induction is feasible and acceptable to women, resulting in high level of satisfaction with the received care"
