United States multicenter clinical usage study of the STAN 21 electronic fetal monitoring system
Article Abstract:
The ability of the U.S. obstetricians to use the fetal electrocardiogram system for electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) (STAN S21, Neoventa Medical, Moelndal, Sweden) appropriately for intrapartum care is assessed. The analysis suggests that the U.S. clinicians have used the STAN system appropriately in a manner that is similar to that of experienced STAN users.
