PERICALM PATTERNS™

FHR Pattern Identification and Labeling

PeriGen Medical Podcast series on PeriCALM Patterns

Development of the PeriCALM Patterns - A Brief Introduction This podcast (click to download) reviews PeriCALM Patterns, a software tool that provides impartial tracing analysis highlighting trends over time. The podcast also reviews the relevance of birth related brain injury, and explains how this specialized software counters the “system” weakness contributing to obstetrical mishaps. 

Monitoring contractions and FHR response is an integral part of OB care for women in labor, particularly when that labor is induced or augmented.  PeriCALM Patterns enhances that process by:

• Providing automated calculations, so clinicians can focus on patient care
• Providing continuous feedback on contraction frequency, average FHR baseline and variability
• Analyzing FHR tracings using powerful automated pattern recognition software using NICHD definitions

Key Features:

• Convenient access to simultaneously detailed analyses and long-term trends
• Easy tracking of fetal heart rate reaction and response to medications
• Quick review or navigation throughout the entire tracing
• Alerts set according to clinician preferences regarding contraction rate and persistence criteria
• Summary information/calculations provided automatically

Applications:

• Real-time during labor (immediate feedback and status)
• Retrospectively for education or quality improvement (simplify and augment strip and chart review)
• Bedside or remote access (enhance OB team communication)
• Operates with standard fetal monitors and compliments investment in existing fetal surveillance system

*PeriCALM Patterns is to be used only by or on the order of a physician.
