Abstract
At present, noninvasive recording of abdominal fetal electrocardiogram and analysis of the fetal heart rate variability seems to be the most promising method to detect the fetal hypoxia. The main problem is to obtain a good quality fetal ECG, which is strongly distorted by maternal component of dominating energy. The paper presents the new method of maternal electrocardiogram recognition and suppression relying on determination of template maternal PQRST complex and its subtraction during consecutive maternal cardiac cycles. The efficiency of the developed method was evaluated and related to three other selected methods for maternal ECG suppression using dedicated coefficients created for this comparison.
