[Telephone transmission of the cardiotocographic recording from the office to the obstetrical clinic].

Abstract

The authors describe their experience in telephonic transmission of cardiographic recordings. With a Corometrics 116 and 410 unit installed in a remote facility, 61 CTG recordings were tele transmitted and received by a Toshiba personal computer. The comparison between original and transmitted CTG record was excellent and a very low percentage of signal loss during transmission (3.2%). The advantages of telephone transmission of CTG in peripheral areas are stressed.
