A feasibility study on non-invasive fetal ecg to evaluate prenatal autonomic nervous system activity

CONCLUSIONSThis study shows that non-invasive fECG is feasible throughout a broad range of gestational ages and allows detecting electrophysiological parameters of the fetal heart that may be used a surrogate of ANS maturity. Technological implementation of this system and its further exploitation may generate new tool to estimate fetal maturity.
