Trial Outcomes & Findings for Noninvasive Monitoring of Uterine Electrical Activity and Fetal Heart Rate: A New External Monitoring Device (NCT NCT02993354)

NCT ID: NCT02993354

Last Updated: 2024-03-08

Results Overview

Continuity in readings of contractions, as measured in the number of minutes without a readable tracing in a sample tracing, between the novel EUM device and the external tocodynamometer (standard care) were assessed in pregnant preterm patients. An uninterpretable tracing was defined as any contraction, or any period of contractions, with unclear/uninterpretable baseline, peak onset/timing, height/peak, or duration of contraction.

Participant Flow

Prospective observational study of 48 patients at Montefiore Medical Center. Recruitment commenced following IRB approval in FEB 2017 (first patient was enrolled July 1, 2017). Study recruitment was paused due to COVID from March 2020 to June 2020 and resumed from June 2020 to May 2021.

All 48 participants who enrolled were simultaneously monitored with the EUM Device and the typical tocodynamometer.

Measure
Pregnant Women
n=48 Participants
Pregnant women with singleton pregnancy with gestational age greater than or equal to 24 weeks. The EUM300 (electrical uterine myography): External monitor intended for the evaluation of electrical signals originating in the uterus, thus providing a tool for measuring uterine activity as well as fetal heart rate.

Timeframe: within 4 hours of device application

Population: Fetal Heart Rate data was not collected and therefore not analyzed

Continuity in Fetal Heart rate readings, as measured by the number of minutes without a readable tracing in a sample tracing between the novel EUM/EMG device and the external tocodynamometer (standard care) will be assessed in pregnant preterm patients. An uninterpretable tracing is defined as any period of fetal heart rate tracing with unclear/uninterpretable baseline, variability, onset/timing, peak, frequency, or duration of accelerations/decelerations
