An interactive computer program for studying fetal electroencephalograms.
Fetal electroencephalogram (FEEG), recorded during labor, produces very large volumes of data for visual interpretation. An established terminology, developed for the interpretation of neonatal electroencephalogram, has been found to be useful for visual pattern recognition of FEEG. A program, which identifies FEEG patterns within ten second epochs and provides direct comparison between visual and programmed analysis, has been developed using an interactive computer system. This program provides 85-90 percent consistency with visual interpretation.
