For use in a cardiotocograph, ultrasound Doppler fetal signals provide merely a limited reliability of the fetal heart rate record because of the difficulty of signal processing to obtain a consistent trigger, although the signal itself is easy to obtain with an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. However, a unique signal processing system was developed using a correlation technique with an automatic adaptation algorithm, which solved almost all of the difficulties associated with the old Doppler cardiotocograph and showed that the ultrasound Doppler fetal signal can also provide heart rate records compatible to that obtained by a fetal ECG system. The method is a most promising one in the coming age of microprocessor-oriented instrumentation.
