Vliv rozmístění elektrod na kvalitu monitorace pomocí abdominální fetální elektrokardiografie

Abstract

This diploma thesis focuses on fetal monitoring recorded transabdominally. This method is very promising in replacing cardiotocography (CTG) which is the most used method in clinical practice. Transabdominal fetal monitoring faces a large number of problems, one of the major problems being the non-existent standardization for electrode placement. The aim of this work is to contribute to solving the problem with the placement of electrodes using objective methods, which are currently used mainly for conventional ECG. The author created the final design for the placement of electrodes based on the evaluation of the quality of signals from available databases using objective parameters depending on the success of the extraction of the fetal component from the abdominal signal. To increase the contribution of this work to future research, the results are evaluated by experts in the field.
