Feasibility Study: Continuous Fetal Monitoring During Maternal Exercise

Continuous Non-invasive Electrophysiological Monitoring During Maternal Exercise: a Feasibility Study

• Status: Not Yet Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 15 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Maxima Medical Center · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

This feasibility study will be the first study to assess the feasibility of continuous electrophysiological monitoring during maternal exercise in women with an uncomplicated pregnancy. This may help to better understand fetal condition during exercise and offer personalised exercise recommendations in the future. In future, validating the feasibility and safety of exercise could promote greater exercise engagement among pregnant women and increase fetal wellbeiing.

Detailed description

The Nemo Fetal Monitoring Sytem (Nemo Healthcare B.V., Veldhoven, the Netherlands) will be used for electrophysiological monitoring.

Conditions

• Pregnancy
• Monitoring

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Electrophysiological monitoring	electrofysiological CTG monitoring with the Nemo Fetal Monitoring System (Nemo Healthcare B.V., Veldhoven, the Netherlands). The NFMS consists of a wireless and beltless electrode patch on the maternal abdomen. It monitors fetal heart rate by fetal electrocardiography, maternal heart rate by maternal electrocardiography and the electrical activity of the uterine muscle by electrohysterography.
