Rind electrode
A scalp electrode (abbreviated KSE ) referred to in the obstetrics an electrode attached to the scalp of the fetus is attached to so that the heartbeat of the fetus in a Cardiotocography monitor. In contrast to the conventional method, which determines the heart tones by means of pulsed-wave doppler , the child's EKG is derived from the scalp electrode . A precondition for the derivation using the scalp electrode is a previous rupture of the bladder . However, the CFE is reserved for exceptional cases (e.g. fetal heart rates that are difficult to assess). Another option, which has so far rarely been used in clinical routine, is the ST segment analysis (STAN), which, in addition to the fetal heart rate, also shows ECG changes that may indicate a fetal oxygen deficiency.
